Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition - Audio Visualscapes (Impulse, 1988)

This post is by Scott

Jack DeJohnette (d, kybds); Gary Thomas (ts, fl, b cl); Greg Osby (as, ss); Mick Goodrick (el g); Lonnie Plaxico (el b, b)

Recorded on February 01 - 03, 1988 

When it was released, Audio Visualscapes was recognized for its excellence by critics and listeners. For example, Downbeat selected it as their album of the year. But, for whatever reason, it seems like people no longer hold it in such high esteem, and it's long out-of-print.

Regardless of its current critical status or availability, I think Audio Visualscapes continues to be a powerful statement of exciting and creative music. 

From this listener's perspective, it's easily one of DeJohnette's finest releases.
