Forces of Nature was produced for release by “Jazz Detective” Zev Feldman, Jack &amp; Lydia DeJohnette, and Matthew Garrison, and includes an elaborate booklet with rare photos by Francis Wolff, Raymond Ross, and Robert Polillo; plus liner notes by acclaimed author and critic Nate Chinen, and interviews and statements with Jason Moran, Joe Lovano, Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, Nasheet Waits and Terri Lyne Carrington.
