"Sonny Simmon's Staying on the Watch and Music of the Spheres are important examples of his idiosyncratic genius. With Simmons on alto and the magnificent presence of the late Barbara Donald on trumpet, these two sessions will live long in the historical development of the Free Movement. Features the New York debut of pianist John Hicks, who has gone on to become one of the most requested pianists in jazz, and fellow ESP leader and percussionist James Zitro. After building his chops with numerous West Coast bebop groups, Simmons moved to New York in the early '60s, playing with such luminaries as Eric Dolphy, Elvin Jones and Charles Mingus. These two 1966 sessions mark his first and second as leader, splendidly juxtaposing smooth, crisp modal expressions with all-out free blowing, and post-bop swing with reactive rhythmic exploration. Includes over 25 minutes of new, previously unreleased interviews with Sonny Simmons and Barbara Donald with full, detailed interview transcription in the liner notes. Digitally remastered from the original tapes."
