World Saxophone Quartet: Julius Hemphill, Oliver Lake (alto & soprano saxophones, flute); David Murray (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet); Hamiet Bluiett (baritone saxophone, alto clarinet). Personnel: Hamiet Bluiett (alto clarinet, baritone saxophone); David Murray (bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); Oliver Lake (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Julius Hemphill (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone). Liner Note Author: Stanley Crouch. Recording information: Sound Heights Studios, Brooklyn, NY (03/1980). Photographer: Ming Murray. There is plenty of variety to the third album by the unique World Saxophone Quartet. The music ranges from nearly free improvisations to the four-part "Suite Music," which was almost completely written out. Rather than being a screamfest for the four innovative saxophonists (baritonist Hamiet Bluiett, altoists Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake and tenor saxophonist David Murray, all of whom double on other reeds), this is a well constructed and sometimes surprisingly accessible (although always explorative) program. ~ Scott Yanow
