Spiritual jazz from early-seventies Chicago, by a sextet combining members of the AACM and Phil Cohran’s Artistic Ensemble, augmented by bassist Richard Evans for Brand New Feeling. You can hear co-leaders Ken Chaney and Frank Gordon’s years together in Young-Holt in Kera’s Dance; the Art Ensemble, brought to the heel of Alice Coltrane, in the bells and chimes of the killer cut Will It Ever End; your favourite CTI records in the electric piano-playing, freshly luminous throughout.
A bonafide Black Jazz classic.
