Hero of Nine Fingers · Bowed Stiffly and Went Free · In Exultation · Not Backwards, as in Doubt · The Echoing Border Zones

A superb disc, capturing Parker at the top of his form and in the company of energizing colleagues. This album received the coveted "crown" (5 stars) in the PENGUIN GUIDE, and for fans of the frenetically moody Parker, this is a "must-have."
