For Kirk - being identified himself with new jazz - who had known Coleman in his late years personally, this engaging tribute is an axiom.One of modern jazz's most skilled navigators of the divide between inside and outside, freedom and swing, he has full command of his most demanding instrument. - All About JazzPersonnel: Kirk Knuffke (cornet), Jay Anderson (bass), Adam Nussbaum (drums)
