The album features an all-star cast of contributors that includes US hard bop hero Hank Mobley as well as Art Ensemble of Chicago bassist Malachi Favors, pianist Burton Greene, and French drummer Claude Delcloo.<\/p>\n<p>While embracing the dynamic, turbulent energy of the avant-garde or \u2018New Thing\u2019 the players did not entirely break from \u2018tradition\u2019 and a reprise of \u2018Oleo\u2019, one of the enduring post-bop themes of \u2018saxophone colossus\u2019 Sonny Rollins, is a highlight of the album. The title track is a searing recital of a text he wrote to mark the passing of his role model Malcolm X that fully conveys the grief over the death of a visionary who sought to bring both dignity and autonomy to people of colour the world over.<\/p>\n<p>This remastered version of the album provides an opportunity to feel the power of Shepp\u2019s poetry as well as the artistry of a Transatlantic band right at the cutting edge of post-war improvised music.
