5.0 out of 5 stars
A masterful set of music., July 6, 2002
This review is from: Things to Come from Those Now Gone (Audio CD)
Simply put, this cd is a classic. Abrams really flexed his compositional muscle for these seven tracks. From the opening number through the closer the music here is a study in contrasts, contrast in instrumentation, texture, tone, structure, and direction. Swinging wildly from serene tonal explorations, to vicious free improvisation and back again all the while making perfect sense, the listener's attention is consistantly rewarded. This is a fantasic place to start for those unfamiliar with the works of the Chicago free jazz scene of the late 60's and early 70's as well as a worthy addition to any jazz collection.
