"Here’s an astonishing fact: This album was recorded during John Tchicai’s first and only weeklong residency at a New York jazz club. Tchicai — co-founder of the New York Art Quartet, one of the most innovative bands of the 1960s; member of Albert Ayer's New York Eye and Ear Control; participant in John Coltrane’s Ascension, perhaps the most influential of Coltrane’s late works; practitioner of world music-jazz fusions in bands such as his own Cadentia Nova Danica, Pierre Dorge’s New Jungle Orchestra, and Johnny Dyani’s Witchdoctor’s Son; winner of Denmark’s prestigious Jazz-Par Prize and first recipient of a lifetime grant from the Danish Ministry of Culture — would seem to have merited a week in New York well before 2007. He defied just about every “avant-garde” stereotype without ever compromising his integrity. He was an intensely lyrical improviser who balanced cool intellect and emotional heat. His solos were orderly, constructed with great care, yet he remained open to surprise and the spontaneous. And although he was a player of deep spirituality, there was always a touch of humor and a sense of jubilation in his music. In short, he was just the sort of innovative, swinging, prestigious jazz elder that in a perfect world one might expect to hear regularly in a jazz club. And yet, he had to wait until he was 71 for it to happen."
