Horizon Ahead

Horizon Ahead is an album by saxophonist/composer Benny Golson that was recorded in 2015 and released on the HighNote label the following year.

[1][2] All About Jazz's Jack Bowers stated "At age eighty-seven, saxophonist Benny Golson is one of the last surviving links to the Golden Age of modern jazz...

If time has dulled Golson's razor-sharp mind or degraded his admirable technique, it's certainly not apparent on Horizon Ahead, on which Golson is in total command of a much-more-youthful rhythm section ... Benny Golson not only keeps working but showing a younger generation that when it comes to contemporary jazz, maturity and experience are dependable allies in the ongoing battle with Father Time.

It is, of course, a battle that can never be won, but Golson proves on Horizon Ahead that when his time comes, he'll definitely go down swinging".

[3] JazzTimes' Evan Haga observed "Neither blowing session nor conceptual work, Horizon Ahead is simply terrific".
