Divine Mad Love


Divine Mad Love is an album by American jazz multi-instrumentalist Sabir Mateen, which was recorded in 1997 and released on the Eremite label.

Reception

The [Penguin Guide to Jazz] says "Very much a group effort, with solo spots for both bassist and drummer, this seems too consciously designed to show off Mateen's not yet developed multi-instrumentalist."
The JazzTimes review by Amiri Baraka states "Full of energy and desire, without the wholeness or interior rationale of clear, riveting aesthetic cohesion."
