".....if I die tomorrow, I would be happy with my (recorded) legacy, give or take one or two, three or four. I've made some albums that'll stand the test of time."
David Murray
David Murray has created one of his masterpieces, in the press CECMA Records, the stunning "The People's Choice" with "Chamber Jazz Quartet". Hugh Ragin plays the trumpet and flugelhorn, Fred Hopkins is on the contrabass, often played with a bow, and great Abdul Wadud on cello.
Marvelously!
