Our Take

Joseph Jarman and Don Moye's latest album "Earth Passage - Density" is a kaleidoscopic journey through the outer reaches of avant-garde jazz. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride.

Jarman's saxophone skills are on full display, weaving intricate melodies that dance around Moye's frenetic percussion. The duo's chemistry is palpable, with each track feeling like a conversation between two old friends who just happen to be musical geniuses.

The album's title track, "Earth Passage," is a sprawling epic that takes listeners on a cosmic odyssey through time and space. Moye's polyrhythmic drumming propels the song forward, while Jarman's saxophone unfurls like a comet streaking through the night sky.

But it's not all intergalactic escapades on "Earth Passage - Density." Tracks like "Urban Magic" and "Sonic Convergence" ground the album in the gritty reality of urban life, with Jarman's haunting vocals adding a touch of soul to the mix.

Overall, "Earth Passage - Density" is a bold and fearless statement from two jazz legends at the top of their game. If you're looking for something to challenge your musical sensibilities and expand your sonic horizons, look no further than this album. Verdict: 8.5/10
