Solomon's daughter

"Kiermyer (who wrote all six of the compositions) has the power of an Elvin Jones or a Rashied Ali without really copying their styles; his explosive playing fits in very well with Sanders. Pianist John Esposito and bassist Drew Gress cannot help being overshadowed by the dominant duo, but they play quite well and make their contributions felt during the quieter pieces, such as "Peace on Earth" and "Birds of the Niles," during which Sanders is quite lyrical and tender. But it is the lengthy blowouts on "If I Die Before I Wake" and "Three Jewels" that really make this set very memorable. The phrase "blowing up a storm" does not even begin to describe the ferocious music".

"Originally issued in 1994 by the Evidence Music label and long out of print, Solomon's Daughter (...) is a scorched-earth touchstone in the avant-garde jazz canon whose reissue is long overdue. Cut from the spiritually informed jazz cloth of John Coltrane, the album, which features the monolithic presence and brute force of tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, is again seeing the light of day at a very specific moment".
