Info for Inflation Blues (2023 Remaster)



„A roller coaster“, „with parabolic orbits of rim-shots, rolls, and cymbal washes wiping down the sides. Jack DeJohnette again illustrates why he’s one of the leading drummers of this era” Down Beat, 1983

On Inflation Blues, Jack DeJohnette takes his Special Edition band down unexplored avenues with a strong emphasis on group interaction. The band is John Purcell and Chico Freeman on reeds, Baikida Carroll on trumpet and Rufus Reid on bass. Commenting on the group’s fiery interplay in 1983, when the album was released, Stereo Review said “Jack DeJohnette’s Special Edition swirls around like fireworks and pops into glorious displays of colors and shapes.”

"The only recording by Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition to use a trumpeter (guest Baikida Carroll), this is a particularly strong outing by the 1982 edition of the group. With Chico Freeman (on tenor, bass clarinet and soprano), John Purcell (alto, flutes and baritone), bassist Rufus Reid and the leader-drummer (who also contributes some piano), it is not surprising that the music is adventurous yet quite coherent, with the solo and group statements being both spontaneous and logical. Recommended." (Scott Yanow, AMG)
