AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek 

This 1979 date by tenor saxophonist  is one of his most transcendent. Rife with his deep study of 's modalism, and his own deep knowledge of the blues and Eastern music, and his quintet take on three extended pieces: "Soran Bushi-B.H." comes in at over 12 minutes, while "Cry Of Hunger," is over 20; both work out of extended harmonic architectures to place improvisation as a new element (remember, this was 1979), as an extension of the jazz "song." Trumpeter , pianist  -- who was by this time already in full command of his great reach and complex sense of harmonic engagement --  on bass, and drummer  delve deep into 's muse and come out with a record that sounds like a suite. From the title track, which opens the disc through "Soran Bushi-B.H." to "City Of Hunger," modalism gives way to Senegalese folk themes, and Asian variations on theme, in both harmonic and rhythmic languages. Melodically, this group was messing around with ideas that no one else could -- or probably would -- touch at the time. The interplay between  and  is so intimate and instinctual, where 's ragged edges coruscate beautifully into 's large chords and deft, tight-hand intrigues. When tempos move from Malian folk modes to stomping gospel-blues shouts, 's horn sings against ' basslines, which don't so much anchor, as propel forward the rest of the ensemble into the great mystery. This is a winner, top to bottom, and one of the more engaging vanguard jazz outings of the late '70s to come from American soil.
