An exceptional album to say the least, and a sign of jazz's progress. Yes Sonny was a bit of an outside player. Pharoah Sanders is excellent on this hard hitting release.
Is this jazz? I guess I prefer mostly acoustic instruments and some electric guitar. - alaskahiatt 16:41:04 02/14/23 (5)
This music sounds more like hard rock sometimes.

  Elvin Jones on drums, Pharoah Sanders on sax, Charnett Moffett on bass.
  
  Sonny Sharrock though played guitar like no one else and approached it
  from a different perspective. He could do the "straight" jazz guitar thing
  but that didn't ring his bell. He's considered more of an "outside" jazz
  guy, if a definition is needed, though stylistically he covered quite a few
  genres.
  
  He was an electric force of nature and he is dearly missed.

    Not too "outside," with exemplary guitar playing from both guys. First time I heard some of it on the local college station, I thought it was Carlos Santana.
  - Thanks, but I guess I am still into the mellower stuff despite keeping Eric Dolphy. nt - alaskahiatt 23:34:06 02/15/23 (1)

    - Gotcha... SS isn't for everyone (some of his stuff is VERY tough to take)... - musetap 16:15:40 02/16/23 (0)
      but most of that is due to his former wife's vocalizing.

  To me jazz is not a particular sound; it is a process.
