Tangents – Chico Freeman Featuring Bobby McFerrin – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Tangents brings together two restless innovators: saxophonist Chico Freeman and vocal acrobat Bobby McFerrin. Released at a juncture when jazz was undergoing bold transformations, this album captures the electricity of artists unafraid to challenge convention. Freeman’s tenor saxophone, known for its searching lyricism, intertwines with McFerrin’s astonishing vocal improvisations, creating soundscapes that feel at once spontaneous and meticulously crafted. What sets Tangents apart is its willingness to explore—each track is a departure from the expected, whether through unconventional rhythms, extended techniques, or moments where voice and horn become indistinguishable. McFerrin’s ability to leap between percussive scat and ethereal melody pairs beautifully with Freeman’s melodic inventiveness, resulting in a dialogue that feels playful yet profound. For collectors, Tangents is more than a meeting of talent—it’s a snapshot of jazz’s limitless possibilities in the late 20th century, offering insight into the genre’s ongoing evolution. This is an essential listen for those who crave music that rewards close attention and continues to reveal new layers with every spin.
