Pianist
Don Pullen's second recording by his African-Brazilian Connection (which includes bassist
Nilson Matta, two percussionists and altoist
Carlos Ward) is dedicated to the memory of the late tenor-saxophonist
George Adams. The music is more subdued than is usual on a
Pullen disc, with the harmonies being less dissonant and the mood often melancholy and reflective but occasionally joyous. This is one of
Pullen's more accessible and introspective sessions. ~ Scott Yanow
