The new album from the quartet led by one of jazz's innovators, drummer Andrew Cyrille, carries the story forward from the 2016 release The Declaration of Musical Independence, a recording which Down Beat hailed as "an unabashed exploration into time, pulse space and atmosphere ambitious yet simple, rich yet stripped-down, challenging yet infinitely satisfying."
Bill Frisell and Ben Street remain from the Declaration line-up with David Virelles taking the piano role. Each of the players has space for improvisational expression - and Frisell and Virelles also contribute material - but it is Cyrille's communicative sensibility and what the New York Times called his "watchful, flowing pulse" that guides the band.
Andrew Cyrille: drums
