 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Unique, free, intense, skilfull, but utterly pointless unless you happen to own a music shop and want to show people what the instrument is capable off. Otherwise, it's simply a nerve-grinding bore. However, if you like neverending frustration being expr essed at you with no regard for structure and absolutely no reserve, then this will outdo any teenage angst you have ever heard on any record ever. There are far better exponents of free jazz out there, Eric Dolphy and Dave Holland immediately spring to mind, and this record is definitely not one of them. As Miles Davis used to say to him; 'Hey man, why do you have to play so many notes and play for so long?' And a possible answer might be 'because it's very difficult to write good and memorable melodie s' - Keith Jarrett.

The late great Saint John Coltrane has once again delivered me from the inferior sonic wasteland, and brought me to a new level of love for his work that he left us to learn from. We as mankind are truely blessed.
