David Murray: Sacred Ground
Queste musiche sono state poi ulteriormente sviluppate da Murray, che ha incaricato il poeta Ishmael Reed di scrivere i testi per due tracce ("Sacred Ground" e "Prophet of Doom"), in cui troviamo la voce calda ed evocativa di Cassandra Wilson.
Come si può intuire da queste brevi note, si tratta di un album che solleva temi importanti, cupi. Ovviamente, i brani riflettono pienamente l'oppressività di certi argomenti, soprattutto nella voce straziante del clarinetto basso. Non mancano comunque anche momenti più distesi e sereni, come "Transitions" o "Family Reunion", nei quali l'improvvisazione scorre libera e gioiosa.
