By Any Means Necessary is the third album by saxophonist Gary Thomas recorded in 1989 and released on the JMT label.[1] [2]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "The music features dense ensembles, simultaneous improvisations, eccentric funk rhythms, and rhythmic but very dissonant horn solos that have a logic of their own. One can think of this noisy date as being an updated extension of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time and is recommended to open-minded listeners who think that nothing new has been played in jazz since the mid-'70s."[3]
