Review

Sonny Simmons came out of New York's early-'60s avant-garde jazz scene. On this, his first album in a dozen years, Simmons shakes off years of unjust obscurity to emerge as a major talent. The noisy, superficial aspects of the early-'60s jazz scene have been stripped away from his playing but the essence of free jazz--the ability to follow an impulse wherever it leads--remains in Simmons's twisting, restless compositions. Accompanied by the propulsive rhythms of his son Zarak Simmons on drums and Charnett Moffett on bass, Simmons plays long, long solos which maintain an astonishing harmonic continuity even as they snake in every direction except the expected one. --Geoffrey Himes
