Reviews

  • Beachbeatle1's avatar
    Beachbeatle1
    Quirky swinging energetic lyrical forward looking pre-free jazz rooted in a hard bop blues base that possesses an element of fragile beauty hinting in the direction Ornette Coleman would later take to revolutionise the whole jazz world.
    Brilliant.
