1969 studio album by Charles McPherson
Horizons is the fifth album led by saxophonist Charles McPherson recorded in 1968 and released on the Prestige label.[ 1] [ 2]
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "By playing bop-oriented music in 1968, Charles McPherson could have been considered behind the times, but he was never a fad chaser and he has long had a timeless style. This music still sounds viable and creative decades later".[ 3]
