Andrew Cyrille Quintet - Ode To The Living Tree

A feeling of Trane meets Sun Ra on SACD!

Drummer Andrew Cyrille and his group including David Murray on tenor sax and bass clarinet, Oliver Lake on alto sax, keyboardist Adegoke Steve Colson and bassist Fred Hopkins, recorded this set during a stay in Senegal. Comprised of original compositions by Cyrille, Murray and Colson, the quintet also performs John Coltrane's "Acknowledgement" and "Resolution" sections from "A Love Supreme."

Willard Jenkins of Jazz Times writes that Cyrille is "a vital and very much underrated percussionist and bandleader" who "always brings a sense of the Motherland to his music, whether exploring free landscapes, or structured outings like most on this date... There is a feeling of Trane meets Sun Ra at the corner of Murray & Lake on this date as the spirits of those two grand masters are in the air."
