Joe Farrell - Farrells Inferno

Review by Budi Raharja

Farrell's Inferno is a jazz album by the late American saxophonist Joe Farrell. Released in 1980, the album features Farrell on tenor and soprano saxophones, and flute, along with a talented group of musicians including pianist Chick Corea, drummer Steve Gadd, and bassist Anthony Jackson.

The album opens with the title track, a fast-paced and intense composition that showcases Farrell's virtuosic saxophone playing. The following track, "Upon This Rock," is a more laid-back and contemplative piece that features Farrell on flute. Other standout tracks include "Great Gorge," a funky and rhythmic tune with a memorable bassline, and "Cacau," a Brazilian-inspired samba that highlights Farrell's versatility on both saxophone and flute.
