More Info:
Recorded at Golden State Recorders in San Francisco in 1976, this album features Hadley Caliman on tenor sax and flute, Hotep Cecil Barnard on piano, Kenny Jenkins on bass, and Brent Rampone on drums and is a vibrant and indomitable collection of modern jazz, primarily of a post-bop persuasion with a little Latin influence thrown in for good measure. Showcasing Caliman's formidable talent during a transitional period in jazz, these original compositions centre around Caliman's tenor sax, characterized by a slightly sharp yet inviting tone and fantastic phrasing. Considered as one of a two-part album set taken from his time with Catalyst Records, 'Projecting' and this album 'Celebration' encapsulate a wonderful period in this esteemed musician's career. Despite it's echoes of Coltrane, Caliman's vibrant, virile playing is distinctly his own, and captures some of the most creative years of his extensive career.
