Review

Guitarist Sharrock's final album--he died at the tragically young age of 53 in 1994--reveals his music once more in all its roaring glory. Seemingly one of John Coltrane's less likely successors, Sharrock indeed found a way to follow in Trane's musical bootprints with a cranked-up amp. This quartet session with saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, bassist Charnett Moffett and drummer Elvin Jones works almost as a suite, with two cuts ("Little Rock" and "As We Used to Sing") apparently taken from the same long performance. On every cut, the combination of Sharrock and Sanders makes for a spiritual and aural honk inspiring in both its size and meaning. --Rickey Wright
