Wonderful rare opportunity to hear one of the great veterans of the free jazz scene return with a 2001 version of his '60s lineup with Prince Lasha.  This time Sonny teams with multi-reedman Michael Marcus in a distinctive post-Ornette Coleman recording that reminds ond of the kind of ensembles oftern heard during the loft movement of the '70s.  The arrangements are very tight with each musician moving in and around the other's phrasing...big ears....continuously driven by the excellent rhythm section of Rosen and Parker.

Listening to this disc truly makes us wonder what if, and continue to believe that there is still hope for the future of jazz.  Comes with our highest recommendation!
