Our Take

From the depths of the avant-garde jazz scene comes a tantalising trio of virtuosos ready to tickle your eardrums with their latest offering, "Sweet Freedom." Joe McPhee, Paul Plimley, and Lisle Ellis have joined forces to create an album that is as daring as it is delicious.

McPhee's masterful saxophone playing dances with Plimley's nimble fingers on the keys, while Ellis holds down the fort with his intricate bass lines. The chemistry between these three musicians is undeniable, and it shines through in every note of this album.

"Sweet Freedom" is a whirlwind of sound that takes the listener on a wild ride through the realms of improvisation. From the frenetic energy of tracks like "Funky Town" to the more contemplative moments found on "Moon Over Sandusky," this album offers something for everyone.

But what truly sets this album apart is its sense of freedom. These three musicians are not afraid to push the boundaries of their instruments, experimenting with new sounds and textures that keep the listener on their toes.

In conclusion, "Sweet Freedom" is a must-listen for any fan of adventurous music. Joe McPhee, Paul Plimley, and Lisle Ellis have crafted a masterpiece that is as sweet as it is liberating. So sit back, relax, and let the sounds of this album wash over you. You won't regret it.
