Another Time/Another Place is an album by drummer Barry Altschul. It was recorded on March 13, 1978, and April 14, 1978, at Rosebud Studio in New York City, and was released later that year by Muse Records. On the album, Altschul appears in a variety of instrumental combinations, and is joined by saxophonist Arthur Blythe, trombonist Ray Anderson, pianist Anthony Davis, guitarist Bill DeArango, cellists Abdul Wadud and Peter Warren, and double bassists Dave Holland and Brian Smith.[1] [2] [3] [4]
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow noted that "there is certainly plenty of variety" on the album, and stated: "all five selections work in their own unpredictable way."[1]
The editors of The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide awarded the album a full 5 stars, and contributor John Swenson called the opening track, "Crepuscule: Suite for Monk," "a stunning tribute" to Thelonious Monk.
Writer and musician John Corbett wrote: "Much of the record's success revolves around Altschul's inventive writing, which has the complexity of classic [Anthony] Braxton but also a driving clarity and forthrightness." He singled out the opening track for praise, describing it as "splendid" and "free of the nasty clichés that now plague covers of Monk," and commenting: "It's just like Monk would have wanted."[5]
