Pomegranate is developed as suite. It opens with the slow “Sillage” where
Parker's dark bowed bass envelops the investigative, contemplative dynamics. It
is followed by the African-tinged “Mangui Fii Reek (I am Still Here)”, where
the unique telepathic understanding between Haynes and Morris shines, both
continuing each other ideas even before they are fully formed. Later on the
title piece Haynes and Parker share a dense, conversational interplay,
beautifully intuitive and open-ended, shifting fast between moods and
colors. The 17-minutes “Becoming” is a communal meditation on sounds and
shifting dynamics, even Gamelan-sounding ones. The group returns to an African
dance mode on “Crepuscular”, anchored by Parker and Smith hypnotic pulse. Only
on the closing “Odysseus (Lashed to the Mast)” the accumulated energy of the
group explodes with fast, fiery playing of all, transforming sounds into a
means of release and freedom.

Highly recommended.
