Odean Pope, Pharoah Sanders, James Carter, Geri Allen, Reggie Workman and Jeff "Tain" Watts

There are all-star jazz groups, and then there's a true stunner of a lineup like this. Out front is one of the deadlier saxophone teams in recent memory—Odean Pope, Pharoah Sanders and James Carter—and sharing the stage is the redoubtable rhythm section of pianist Geri Allen, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts. Expect plenty of muscular swing and ecstatic improv from these six outside-the-box veterans.
