As welcome as it is to have this treasure trove of previously unheard music from this masterful quartet, Fire From the Road also serves as a powerful tribute to the band’s late saxophonist, Jemeel Moondoc, who passed away in August 2021 from complications of sickle cell anemia. The three-disc set compiles three hours of music captured in 2004 and 2005 at concerts in Houston and Marfa, Texas, and the Guelph Jazz Festival in Ontario, Canada.

Steve Swell - trombone
Jemeel Moondoc - alto saxophone
