While it doesn't quite match the heights of their early collaborations,
Cirrus finds
Bobby Hutcherson resuming his partnership with tenor saxophonist
Harold Land, and the results are quite good. The pair work with pianist
Bill Henderson, trumpeter
Woody Shaw, bassist
Ray Drummond, drummer Larry Hancock, saxophonist/flautist Emmanuel Boyd and percussionist
Kenneth Nash on this set of originals. The music is a little smoother than their earlier collaborations, but there are enough captivating, provocative moments to make the reunion a success. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
