This outing by baritonist Hamiet Bluiett is quite a mixed bag. The music ranges
from electric funk to gospel vocals by Amba Hawthorne and a poetry reading by
Shirley LeFlore. The performances certainly keep one guessing with Bluiett
seeming to operate more as an instigator than necessarily the lead voice.
Listeners expecting to hear avant-garde explorations will be disappointed
although the leaders baritone solos are often quite adventurous. The most
satisfying selection is the closer, a version of Body and Soul that has Bluiett
playing bass sax with surprising fluency. Otherwise the music is a bit erratic
but certainly stimulating and heartfelt.~ Scott Yanow
