Mountain Peak Double CD
Mountain Peak Double CD
Post-concert reviews focused on the “Dynamic Duo...This show was a musical pairing of two serious birds of a feather—Tisziji Muñoz, the cosmic philosopher and guitarist, and Pharoah Sanders, the cosmic philosopher and saxophonist...To say it ‘worked’ wouldn’t do Muñoz justice—it soared...I found this epic battle like an epiphany.”—Paul Rapp, Metroland
“It’s difficult, if not altogether impossible, to imagine a more perfect soundtrack to the Passover/Easter weekend than the spiritual jazz of Moses, Pharoah and their collaborators...Muñoz and Sanders do not play dinner music. It is not background music. Instead, it is the kind of intense, emotionally-charged musical exploration that almost demands concentration and active participation by the listener...At times the fierce saxophonist appeared to be speaking in tongues. It wasn’t just jazz anymore. It was some sort of timeless, intuitive music that we have all carried around in our heads, but so precious few of us are able to express...In short, it was a perfect soundtrack to a celebration of renewal, rebirth and resurrection.”—Greg Haymes, Albany Times Union
