Philadelphia composer/alto saxophonist Bobby Zankel doesn't need a 14-piece ensemble in which to make dense horn charts fly or dynamic rhythms pounce. But it don't hurt. Caught between the devil, deep blue post-bop and frenetic free jazz the likes of which would raise Sun Ra happily from his resting place, his Warriors' recent CD, Ceremonies of Forgiveness, turns Zankel's chromatic harmonic Sound into a joyful noise. Elliott Levin, John Swana, Tom Lawton and Rick Iannacone co-star.
