5.0 out of 5 stars on the contrary, March 1, 2001

This review is from: 35th Reunion (Audio CD)

This review is intended to function as a corrective. The last reviewer contends he is a fan of NYAQ, Coleman...in short, a fan of avant-garde jazz, free-jazz, outside jazz (what Leroi Jones in his flawed but necessary work "Black Music" refers to as the new thing).

To be honest, I find this hard to believe. I listened to this album driving home from a night class yesterday evening. I was blown away. Indispensable when you're stranded on an urban island. As for Baraka, it's somewhat fashionable to criticize his poetry as dated, as, in retro.spect, sophmoric. I strongly disagree. His voice was important then, and not a damn thing has changed to make it irrelevant. A beautiful, moving album. Grab it while you can hungry souls.

This is a 35 anniversary reunion concert taken with excellent sound and published by Japanese label DIW (which means high values in mastering and overall production). Great performance by (mostly) original members (Tchicai, Graves, Rudd & Workman). Free music with an eye on tradition, some poetry, and excellent performance by all. Recommended if you liked their ESP legendary album from the sixties!

I saw these gentlemen live in Paris a year ago. THey were outstanding. Incredible technique (especially Workman). Great inventiveness. And they really listned and responded to each other. ANd so was Leroi Jones! Wise, powerfull stuff. Ovations lasted for 20 minutes.
