Children is an album by David Murray released on the Italian Black Saint label in 1984. It features performances by Murray, guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer, keyboardist Don Pullen, bassist Lonnie Plaxico and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith.[1]
According to Chris Kelsey, in his Allmusic essay "Free Jazz: A Subjective History", Children is one of the 20 Essential Free Jazz Albums.[2]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "The somewhat noisy performances are pretty spontaneous and, thanks to Pullen's rhythmic style, a little more accessible than one might expect, despite being quite adventurous.".[3]
