Been mentioned already, mentioning it again, brilliant record, maybe his best:

The intro to “Teeter Totter” is some of my favorite Andrew Hill record.  Setting aside Point of Departure, this is IMHO the best Joe/Kenny album

Whenever I see the cover of Our Thing, that intro plays in my mind.

One of Joe’s more underrated albums, imho, is his last one for Milestone in 1977 — Black Narcissus (rec. in 1974-76).

His remakes of “Black Narcissus” and “Power to the People” are really interesting, in part because of Patrick Gleeson‘s electronics and synthesizers.  (Not saying that alone makes the album great — but it is interesting and different for Joe.)  So that — plus Joe’s playing, as always, is as engaging as ever.

“Black Narcissus”

“Power to the People”

What else makes it different is Daniel Humair!

Have to confess, I’ve ever taken note of who was on drums on Black Narcissus before — and Humair has quite a discography it appears!

Daniel Humair is a serious badass.

He once confessed in an interview he had played with everybody but Rollins and Miles. One of Europe's very best.

And a real free spirit.
