This CD from altoist Henry Threadgill is a perfect mixture of improvisation and
composition, hanging onto devices of the past while creating new music. Some of
the ensembles (which match Threadgill with trumpeter Ted Daniels, bass
trombonist Bill Lowe, cellist Diedre Murray, bassist Fred Hopkins, and both
Newman Baker and Reggie Nicholson on drums) recall Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz
with the cello-bass interplay inspired by the one-time team of Scott LaFaro and
Charlie Haden. The organized horn parts and the riffs behind the lead voices are
quite original and sometimes more interesting than the solos themselves. Of the
four songs, "Off the Rag" at first dispenses with the melody quickly but the
theme constantly pops up in surprising places. "The Devil" is highlighted by
Murray's double-time cello runs behind Threadgill's alto while "Gift" contrasts
colorful percussion with solemn long tones from the ensemble. "Sweet Holy Rag"
has several sections including a pretty classical-like melody, a danceable
rumba, a drum feature, and a fairly violent trumpet solo. However, the more one
describes this music, the more seems to be left out. Highly recommended to
open-eared listeners.~Scott Yanow
