  • Great

    Just a great record by top of the range musicians. At the tipping point between mainline modern jazz and the avant garde. It is edgy - almost straight ahead arrangements and solos moving to more free forms. All the players are great. Most poignant is Eric Dolphy who had not much longer to live. Love this cd. I find complete free jazz like late Coltrane difficult but this retains enough form for me to still cotton what is happening and it is exciting.
