Description:

A massive, deluxe jazz album from a very important figure in the next generation of Chicago jazz. Drummer Quinn Kirchner, who is expected to lead the jazz scene worldwide in the future following in the footsteps of his fellow countryman Makaya, has released a 2LP set from Astral Spirits, an up-and-coming Texas label that produces heavy free jazz and experimental improvised music, which sold out instantly. The "family jazz" that is so dense and almost solid has become a worldwide trend since Kamasi, and now the time has come for the world to recognize it. The original is of course wonderful, but this man is also quite a curmudgeon, as he has taken up Andrew Hill, Mingus, San-La, and Artur Velokai!
