Black Beings

by Frank Lowe

Overview

One of the later ESP blowouts, this CD reissue features the powerful tenor of Frank Lowe interacting with Joseph Jarman (heard here on alto and soprano), violinist Raymond Lee Cheng (operating under the pseudonym of "The Wizard"), bassist William Parker, and drummer Rashid Sinan. Two of the three originals (which include the 25-minute "In Trane's Name") are lengthy and wander a bit, but the intense music is well worth hearing by free jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
