Gary Thomas & Seventh Quadrant ‎- By Any Means Necessary

Gary Thomas, saxofonista miembro del M-Base Collective, toca de un modo vigoroso, febril, tórrido.
By Any Means Necessary, su tercer álbum, incluye originales cuya interpretación es sólida y diestra; y está dominada por un sonido que se sirve en forma abundante de los sintetizadores propios de la estética de los ochentas, pero que resiste la aplicación de fórmulas repetidas.

Lamentablemente, su último disco publicado es de 1999, dedicándose desde entonces a la enseñanza.****
