Think All, Focus One


Think All, Focus One is an album by Muhal [Richard Abrams] which was released on the Italian Black Saint label in 1995 and features performances of seven of Abrams' compositions by Abrams, Eddie Allen, David Gilmore, Eugene Ghee, Alfred Patterson, Brad Jones, and Reggie Nicholson.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Due to the frequently dense ensembles of the septet and the complexity of the music, this set will take several listens to fully absorb, but it is well worth the effort". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars calling it "fine, thoroughly thought jazz".
