About the Artist

David Murray is widely recognized as one of the most prolific and versatile saxophonists in jazz history. Emerging in the 1970s, he became a founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet and is known for a style that seamlessly integrates the fiery energy of free jazz with the deep tradition of the tenor saxophone greats. This recording highlights his collaboration with Butch Morris, a master of "conduction" and avant-garde cornet, providing a dense, experimental, yet grounded improvisational experience.
