Reviews
Constant Throb is lodged between Miles' Bitches Brew electricity, Pharoah's spirit-expanding tone and compositional simplicity, Coltrane's sheets-of-whatsis, and straight up fuzak. There are great moments and some cheese. Things get wild when Klemmer blows cosmic squiggles through the Saxoplex and there shoulda been more of that. Impulse! mighta been the house that 'Trane built, but Ed Michel added some interesting architectural details to it. They don't always work, but at least he was trying.
