Frank LoweThe FlamBack to the record
AllMusic
★★★★★

“The very explorative and rather emotional music holds one's interest throughout. These often heated performances are better heard than described”

On this free jazz date the powerful tenor Frank Lowe teams up with trumpeter Leo Smith, trombonist Joseph Bowie, bassist Alex Blake and drummer Charles Bobo Shaw for five group originals including the collaboration "Third St. Stomp." The very explorative and rather emotional music holds one's interest throughout. These often heated performances are better heard than described.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD

“A wonderful band and a very fine record which was unavailable for far too long. A good place to start if you haven't encountered Lowe before.”

Different perspectives in my room

“A truly unclassifiable bit of madness from the great tenor player Frank Lowe, The Flam finds him breaking free from the hard-blowing freakout fests of the New York free jazz scene and moving on to something entirely different”
