This excellent outing by multi-reedist
Ken McIntyre ranges musically in his ten originals from a blues, the ballad "Charlotte," and a tribute to
John Coltrane ("Sea Train") to freer pieces.
McIntyre is heard on alto, flute, bassoon, oboe and bass clarinet and is joined by a stimulating rhythm section consisting of pianist
Jaki Byard (who plays electric piano on the title cut), bassist
Reggie Workman and drummer
Andrei Strobert. The post-bop music is consistently inventive and easily recommended.
