Altitude (Joe Morris album)

Altitude is an album by American jazz guitarist Joe Morris which was recorded live in 2011 and released on the AUM Fidelity label.

It documents the first time performance by Morris, bassist William Parker and drummer Gerald Cleaver as a trio during a two-week of dates curated at John Zorn's club The Stone by label owner Steven Joerg.

"[4] Another review for All About Jazz by John Sharpe remarks "Inspired by the lengthy expositions of Coltrane and Cecil Taylor (although sounding nothing like either) the threesome maintains an urgent pace throughout the first extended piece.

"[3] The JazzTimes review by Shaun Brady says "The two collectively improvised sets are all about forward motion, all three players enjoying a constant propulsion.

They are jam-packed with fervour and potent playing, especially from drummer Gerald Cleaver, who is utterly relentless in his invention of responses to his cohorts and his assertions... Altitude is intellectual energy music.
