Editorial Reviews
AMG EXPERT REVIEW -Erlewine
Florence is a dynamic, adventurous saxophonist... he embraces that maverick spirit and runs with it...rich, satisfying...terrific. 4 stars
Product Description
Pepper was one of the leading lights of Native American jazz; he fused hard bop with R&B and Native American folk music. Florence picks up on each strand on this terrific record, which was recorded live in concert at the Myrna Loy Theater in Helena, MT, on August 25, 1995. In the liner notes, Florence affirms a quotation from Pepper:
"Improvisation... was not, for me, sitting in a row with ten other jokers playing the same thing. It was about expressing myself." That is the driving force on this record, and the entire band takes this attitude to heart. Amazingly, even when the music is at its densest -- and it can get quite complex -- it is never cluttered or overwhelming. In fact, it's inviting. Some listeners might find that the vocals and chants may take them out of the groove, but that's their loss, since it's part of a complex tapestry of sounds and styles that is a tribute not only to Pepper's musical aesthetic but to Florence's abilities as a musician and leader. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine
