The composer and saxophonist Sam Rivers leads a cast of like-minded souls in a set of energetically dissonant jazz that frequently takes off in avant-garde directions, yet remains consistently involving. Pieces like the breakneck "Exultation," with its massed soloing led by Rivers' Pied Piper soprano, contrast with the funky street-beat of "Tranquility," and Rivers uses the tonal colors of his band like a Jackson Pollock painting, threaded through with his nimble solos.
