Composer and saxophonist David Boykin has emerged over the past decade as an aggressively creative new voice in music.  His work is rooted in the hard swinging sound of Chicago legends like Gene Ammons and Johnny Griffin and the tradition-challenging experiments of innovators like Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman.  His career ranges from the funky soul of the Pharaohs to his involvement with the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians.

   Josh Abrams (bass)
   Isaiah Spencer (drums)

On this recording, Boykin has managed to most effectively combine the lyricism of swing and the emotional fire of free jazz, with a harmonic complexity that is beyond be bop.  Comes recommended.

"The lid is off on the solos, the swinging is hard and true, and the spirits are out to play with thrythmic and harmonic point spreads.  The sheer musical sophisitaction of Boykin's vision, combined with this soulfully enthusiastic approach and a crack band, makes this s necessary addition to the new jazz catalog." -- Thom Jurek, All Music Guide.
