Soldiering on after the death of {|Julius Hemphill|}, {|the World Saxophone Quartet|} retains its fabulously rich palette, now filled out by the remarkable {|John Purcell|} on soprano sax and clarinet. This engaging album, their sixth for the Canadian label {|Justin Time|}, was recorded at Chicago's {|Steppenwolf Theater|} in early 1999. It features compositions from all the group's members, along with compelling renditions of {|Giant Steps|} and {|Taj Mahal|}'s {|Sunrise (Brazilian Sunshine)|} arranged by {|Hamiet Bluiett|} and {|David Murray|}, respectively. Following {|Murray|}'s {|The Crossing,|} with its intricate harmonies and subtle groove, the quartet tackles {|Purcell|}'s {|Li'l Poki,|} an ambitious work dedicated to his ancestor, {|Pocahantas|}. Each {|WSQ|} member, taking on a prescribed role in this historical epic, makes an unaccompanied statement during the course of the piece. ({|Purcell|} spells out the roles in his spoken introduction.) {|Bluiett|}'s {|Color for Duke|} also contains unaccompanied passages and highlights the glow {|the WSQ|} can achieve on a lushly harmonized {|ballad|}. {|Purcell|}'s {|Tore,|} a mesmerizing portrait of the northern lights as seen from Sweden, is followed by {|Oliver Lake|}'s {|What If,|} a wailing workout that finds the composer reciting original {|poetry|}. {|Bluiett|}'s {|Hattie Wall,|} {|the WSQ|} theme song, concludes the program with boogying showmanship. Recommended. ~ David R. Adler Music>Music>Jazz>Jazz>Jazz, Idn Distribution Core >3<
