The liner notes and promotional material for this album present something of a
bruised ego with regards to free jazz, but that is hardly necessary in the
context of this album which features four master improvisers, Joe McPhee on
tenor saxophone, Louie Belogenis on tenor and soprano saxophones, Joe Morris on
bass, Charles Downs on drums creating hearty and provocative music that can be
enjoyed by any open minded listener. "Rabble-Rouser" opens the album with bass
and drums plus nice ripe saxophones, where the horns are playing adjacent to
one another, yet together glued together with thick bass playing. The
saxophones reach a raw uptempo but not wild, incorporating an excellent bass
solo with bowing, punctuated with a bellicose roar of saxophone. Saxophones in
separate stereo channels work together on "Recombinant" with swirling soprano
spiraling soaring over grounding repetitive tenor. The bass and drums enter
after a couple of moments, moving the music forward gracefully at a medium
tempo, gradually gaining intensity and featuring a bass solo framed by light
percussion. "Harbinger" opens with unaccompanied bass, building with insistent
drumming and tenor saxophone that gradually build the performance...
