Title: Perhaps Branford at his best
Review: If you like good jazz "in the tradition," this is a must for any jazz collector. "Roused About" has a great monkish feel to it (named after one of Monk's tenor players). "The Beautyful Ones" is a sublime ballad, and reminds me of Coltrane's meditative pieces like "Alabama"-- but very "operatic" in some sense. The musical approach is largely free, and emotionally tense, but not necessarily atonal (think 60's Miles Davis, not Ornette Coleman). If you are into Kenny G, don't buy this album-- this is real jazz-- not instrumental pop!
