Bluiett Baritone Nation's 'Libation For The Baritone Saxophone Nation' is a celebration of the power generated by a baritone sax quartet. The concert recording features Hamiet Bluiett, James Carter, Patience Higgins, and Alex Harding on reed instruments, along with percussionist Ronnie Burrage. The music swings, shouts, and swaggers from the bottom on up, with dense harmonies and high-spirited improvisations. Recorded by La Chaîne culturelle de Radio-Canada for 'Silence on jazz' at the 1997 Montreal International Jazz Festival.
