Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the legendary Brooklyn cultural center, this deeply hypnotic album captures the saxophonist leading an ecstatic, community-focused ensemble. The dense, percussive vamps and screaming horn improvisations create a fiercely uplifting and transcendent musical ritual deeply rooted in the era's Black consciousness movement.
