Album Notes & Community Reviews
Trumpeter Ted Curson purposefully bridges the gap between conventional hard bop frameworks and the impending free jazz revolution on this Atlantic release. The sophisticated, piano-less arrangements allow for passionate, highly technical acoustic improvisations that push modal structures to their structural limits.
