Album Notes & Community Reviews

Visionary composer and pianist Muhal Richard Abrams leads an incredibly tight ensemble through a masterclass in modern avant-garde jazz composition. 'One Line, Two Views' seamlessly navigates between highly structured, swinging post-bop arrangements and brilliant moments of completely open-ended free improvisation. The album perfectly highlights his lifelong dedication to expanding the structural boundaries of large-group jazz performance.
