Original 1961 dub-plate.

‘One of the fiercest sounds in modern jazz… The New York-based sax player and co mix it up, from funk shuffle to full-on swing, on their blistering fourth album, comprising eight tracks of angular yet explosive experimentation…
‘The opening title track sets the tone, interweaving Lewis’s expressive lines among pianist Aruán Ortiz’s polyrhythms before reaching a blistering sax solo. As the album progresses, there is variety amid the consistency of Lewis’s blasting tone: a funk shuffle on Swerve, Latin rhythm on Per 6, and fast-paced swing on Black Apollo…’ (The blistering Guardian).

‘A wonderful ballad album that isn’t one. With a profound sense for lyrical melodies, tonal concision and dynamics, the quartet develop a spirited interplay, reacting to the tiniest atmospheric oscillations on the sound and groove level. Look forward to a sweeping indulgence. Teju Cole contributes a text in the booklet to this new masterpiece.’
