"Part of Rashied Ali's artistic strength involved turning improbable sound combinations into unchallenged masterpieces. After the pattern established by John Coltrane's Interstellar Space, and Duo Exchange with Frank Lowe, the drummer stepped into a rather unlikely duet with violinist Leroy Jenkins for Swift are the Winds of Life. Five years with the Revolutionary Ensemble had established Jenkins as a composer; he designed all the pieces played on these 1975 duets with Ali. That record is issued on vinyl here for the first time in almost a half century. The LP is augmented by an informal phantom session in which Ali and Jenkins explore thoroughly other territories -- standards, Coltrane's music, and two untitled, unbridled improvisations. SR-512 is a deluxe 2LP set packaged in an old-school tip-on gatefold jacket that includes Stanley Crouch's original 1975 essay along with new liner notes and excerpts from an interview with Jenkins."
