Joe McPhee : Tenor & Fallen Angels (Hat Hut, 1977)

tenor_fallengrisli

This record is one that I keep coming back to over and over and over. The words that come to mind when I listen to it are « master », « poet », and « honest ». Each time I listen to this record I hear new things. It's completely compelling, engaging, and overwhelming in the same way Brahms overwhelmed me when I was a kid, or the way I have been knocked out by the work of a great novelist. It's incredible that this was a record that McPhee made in the earlier part of his career. He could have stopped after this record and still be a living legend. But he has continued to expand his mastery and artistry over his long career, and has maintained the intensity and integrity he had on this record to this day. Heroic!
