Ralph Simon: AS

Saxophonist and composer Ralph Simon's second release as a leader features an ensemble of like-minded players who were able to leave their musical imprint on a group of vivid and challenging compositions. The result is a heady mix of straight-ahead and more unusual pieces, including the first recording of "Skin on Skin," written by the great composer/vocalist Annette Peacock. AS also features the last recorded performances of the late pianist Gene Adler.
