This early
Don Pullen recording helped introduce him to jazz listeners. The pianist is heard in a variety of settings including a duet with multireedist
George Adams on "Last Year's Lies and Tomorrow's Promises," and in two groups with
Adams and trumpeter
Hannibal Marvin Peterson. Actually the most accessible and memorable piece is the rollicking "Big Alice" which also features violinist
Michal Urbaniak and trumpeter
Randy Brecker.
Pullen, a very rhythmic avant-gardist who can play inside or outside, was well-served by this release. ~ Scott Yanow
