"Music is the healing force of the universe," said sax master Albert Ayler. Here's the proof. Keyboardist Don Pullen is successfully fighting cancer. Recorded live at Montreux in July of 1993, Live… Again is so strong. So beautiful. So joyous. So full of life. Pullen's African Brazilian Connection band features Carlos Ward's brilliant, tart alto saxophone; Nilson Matta's pulsating, propulsive acoutic bass; J.T. Lewis' sinewy and sensitive drum kit; and the firelight of Senegalese percussionist/vocalist/composer Mor Thiam. Listening to Pullen's music is like taking a long, deep drink of medicinal sonic refreshment.

Although only one of the five compositions is his, each selection is stamped by Pullen's deft carpet of lyrical/rhythmic piano trills. Some of the sounds he gets out of the piano are the result of playing with his knuckles (it's physically brutal - occasionally there is blood on the keys when he finishes), but the swirls are always intelligently employed and adroitly integrated into the rhythm. My favorite track is "Ah George, We Hardly Knew Ye," the 18-minute tribute to the late saxophonist George Adams, Pullen's former partner of many years. Beginning with a gorgous, floating and percussive four-minute opening solo, Pullen demonstrates his originality as both a pianist and composer. By the time the band floats in, a meditative mood is etablished that will cause any listener to remember their own departed loved ones. "Ah George" is more than a tune, a groove, a riff or a mood; this is truly a great "song". Indeed, "Ah George" in particular, and the whole album in general, is one of the great healing moments of recorded music. Regardless of your musical taste, I guarantee you'll appreciate Live…Again. Pullen's music is genuine, elemental, emotional, and resonant of all things good and beautiful. Listen and give thanks! (Kalamu ya Salaam, CMJ 6/95)
