Review by James Best

The album 19 Moons by Faruq Z Bey with Northwoods Improvisers is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts. The album features a series of improvisational jazz pieces that are both complex and beautiful. The album's title track, "19 Moons," is a particularly haunting piece that showcases the group's ability to create a mood with their music.

One of the standout features of the album is the interplay between the various instruments. Each musician is given a chance to shine, and they all work together to create a cohesive whole. The saxophone work by Faruq Z Bey is particularly impressive, and his improvisational skills are on full display throughout the album.

The Northwoods Improvisers are a talented group of musicians who are able to keep up with Bey's virtuosity. The group's drummer, Davu Seru, is particularly impressive, providing a solid backbone for the improvisations.
