An outstanding yet obscure 1981 release by two Art Ensemble of Chicago members, multi reeds player Joseph Jarman and drummer Don Moye along with legendary bassist Rafael Garret (mostly remembered for his presence on John Coltrane’s masterpiece “Kulu se Mama”) and young lion Craig Harris on trombone. Four great individuals digging deep between ancient African rituals and modern urban multidimensional grooves. A tribal ecstatic sound based on a multitude of instruments: reeds, bamboo !utes, didgeridoo, trombone, conch shell, panpipes and a sea of percussion. A beautiful example of AACM “Ancient to the Future” aesthetic. A magic mixture of elements from the African American music continuum.
