Description
“In 1994, Joe McPhee entered a studio in Zurich, Switzerland and recorded this thoughtful yet chance-taking response to Max Roach’s ambitious Freedom Now Suite of 1960 … McPhee doesn’t treat Roach’s compositions like museum pieces; instead, he embraces them on his own terms and brings many of his own ideas to the table … the element of surprise is exactly what McPhee is going for on this rewarding, AACM-influenced inside/outside date. -Alex Henderson, All Music
