Trio Hurricane was stalwart bassist William Parker, drummer Paul Murphy, and the late Bay Area tenorman Glenn Spearman. Suite of Winds is probably the group's finest recorded moment: a four-tune set originally waxed for Black Saint. Spearman is an heir apparent to Albert Ayler and imbues raw, paint-peeling aesthetics with an R&B preacher-man loquaciousness gleaned from Frank Wright. Combined with Parker’s fluid pizzicato constancy and Murphy’s chattering, dry beats, Trio Hurricane makes a formidable combination. Punctuated by short, bluesy phrases and Spearman’s whoops and hollers, “South” is primarily a feature for Parker’s calloused ornamentation amid Latin rhythms, eventually evolving into meaty fiddling and screaming tenor. “East” is a long, suite-like piece that moves from lilting stateliness to cursing and spitting, while “West” is essentially a cover of Wright’s tune “No End.”
