Description

“Epic” is a word that seems appropriate to describe the music on this two-disc offering by saxophonist and trumpeter Joe McPhee. Accompanied by four double-bassists, the veteran free-jazzer from upstate New York has concocted a tribute to the spirit of one of the genre’s early patron saints and called it, appropriately enough The Albert Ayler 2000 Project. -Paul Serralheiro, Squid’s Ear
