Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded under the auspices of the influential AACM collective, the tenor saxophonist's debut is a profoundly meditative work divided into two distinct suites. The album masterfully balances the fiery intensity of free jazz improvisation with moments of stark acoustic minimalism and deeply spiritual vocal incantations.
