Unsung Hero, April 26, 2000
This review is from: Saying Something for All (Audio CD)
Hamiet Bluiett is the unsung hero of the jazz avant garde. Having played with Mingus, David Murray, Oliver Lake and Julius Hemphill just to name a few, his talents go mostly unnoticed. This cd, recorded live captures Hamiet at his most intense featuring a riveting baritone sax solo on "Requeim For Kent State" and outstanding accompaniment from legendary pianist Muhal Richard Abrams and The Sam Rivers Big Band. The music is consistent, intense and maybe even a bit spiritual. All in all free jazz at it's best.
