Description
"There is no more experienced and passionate drummer in all of jazz than Roy Haynes. I have been listening to him since we both were young in Boston, and his playing in this David Murray set will stand as one of the landmark performances in Roy's career. For Murray this too is one of those sets that will be mentioned from now on as one of his most memorable. David Murray covers much of the whole of jazz. Whatever the idiom, it's his voice all the way through and Murray's is a speaking voice. That is, like a preacher or a writer to whom writing is his whole life, Murray, in his music, is reaching out as far as his sounds can go. He's telling about life, his life, and any life that finds a connection with his music. In 1991 Peter Watrous, a jazz critic for the New York Times, wrote that David Murray is 'probably the most powerful soloist to arrive in jazz in the last ten years.' That power comes from Murray's immersion in the music and his conviction that there is no end to what one can discover in music and in oneself by continuing to listen ahead while remembering where it all came from. It's an exhilarating kind of power because it's continually energized by discovery, as you can hear in this set." --Nat Hentoff
