Album Notes & Community Reviews
Alto saxophonist Sonny Fortune steps into the role of bandleader for this powerful, intensely focused Strata-East debut. Aided by trumpeter Charles Sullivan, the album navigates between fiery, Afro-centric modal explorations and reflective, beautifully textured spiritual jazz.
