Marking a triumphant return to form after a period of relative quiet, 'Rejoice' finds the revered saxophonist navigating profound spiritual jazz and energetic post-bop compositions. Backed by an expansive ensemble featuring vocalist Bobby Hutcherson, the double album channels deep rhythmic traditions from across the African diaspora[cite: 1].
