Spent the weekend with this, liked it a lot, this was what Olu Dara was a lot about when I first heard him with Threadgill in Chicago at the Underground Festival, you want a lot harmonic movement, go elsewhere. You want a lot of flurryburry specific or non-specific notes, hey, plenty of other people for that. Etc and so forth. But if you want somebody who has looked at the trumpet from all sides (And the serpent horn from whatever angles there are to look at the serpent horn) and at this particular point decided that multiphonics built of of pedal tones and other ways of using it (them) as first and foremost a heralding instrument with all sorts of timbral colorations in the service of coding the heralding, then Oly Dara from this period, and on this record in particular, that's gonna be your guy.

And of course, when is Phillip Wilson ever not gonna be your guy?

still have the lp. thanks for bringing attention to this.

That is a great one.  Jerome Richardson had TONE for days.  I found a used copy a few years ago and discovered that he had signed it and given it to a friend, so that was a nice surprise.  

Picked it up a while ago. Especially like him on soprano. My friend Bill Kirchner, a frequent sub with the Vanguard Orchestra back in the day, said that Thad wrote so many soprano-lead passages because Richardson (and then later on Jerry Dodgion) could really play them.

I got that one last week, but haven't listened to it yet.  So much music, so little time!

I have the same issue. I must have purchased it about a month or so ago but just getting to listen to it now.

Two good ones!

Pretty much essential.  Russell's NYNY is a particular favourite.

Liked his playing with George Russell very much, though I never heard that recording.
