On this interesting but unfortunately out of print LP, the immortal drummer
Elvin Jones teams up with four advanced but very different improvisers:
Dave Liebman (doubling on soprano and flute), cornetist
Terumasa Hino, pianist
Kenny Kirkland and bassist
George Mraz. Other than a lyrical version of "Never Let Me Go," the songs were contributed by either
Jones ("Three Card Molly") or
Liebman, whose "Day and Night" is not surprisingly based on the chord changes of "Night and Day." The solos are unpredictable but logical, and the blend between the lyrical
Hino and
Liebman is appealing. ~ Scott Yanow
