Description
Congolese-Danish saxophonist/composer John Tchicai (1936-2012) recorded this straight-ahead jazz album in 2009 surprising his usual followers who regarded Tchicai as the legendary leader of the '60s free jazz scene. During the free jazz period he resided in New York associated with jazz artists such as Archie Shepp, Don Cherry and New York Contemporary Five and left a number of famous recordings including Ascension album by John Coltrane.As "God Father" or "Guru" of free jazz Tchicai has been active on the scene but this first leader album in 22 years for SteepleChase label he also returned to play his original instrument alto sax. Tchicai interpreted works by Thelonious Monk with his striking sound.
Mark Gardner who is a contributor of Jazz Journal International concludes his liner notes for the CD release of this recording by noting, "And now he's back on SteepleChase with a warm and welcome tribute to an early influence - an inspired concept, beautifully realised."
