Bassist Ellis is best known perhaps for his free-form work with pianist Paul Plimley (recordings on 9 Winds and Hat Art, where they tackled the Ornette songbook). Here, he's featuring material he's written for a saxophone quartet (Glen Spearman, Larry Ochs, Joe McPhee, Christopher Cauley); w/ a cover of Ayler's "Mothers," another track dedicated to Jimmy Lyons, you can imagine the spirits invoked here; dense Mingus-like detail-groundwork upon which pour the lines of the aforementioned 4 masters.
