SABIR MATEEN / SUNNY MURRAY

We Are Not at The Opera

(Eremite) Used CD $7.00

“The ebb and flow of these extended performances” from 1998, notes Jazz Times, “Allow Murray to organically connect delicately brushed cymbal figures and full-bore barrages within a single piece. His underappreciated sense of structure is very well represented by this program. Mateen more than holds his own, often prodding Murray in unexpected directions; his well developed voices on flute, alto and tenor saxophones, are as compelling as Murray’s.” Clipped corner
