Communion is the third album by American jazz trumpeter Roy Campbell and the debut recording with his Pyramid Trio with bassist William Parker and Reggie Nicholson replacing original drummer Zen Matsuura. The album was recorded in 1994 and released on the Swedish Silkheart label. Roy pays tribute to avant-garde jazz musicians Don Cherry, Hannibal Marvin Peterson, and brothers Don & Albert Ayler.[1]
Scott Yanow, in his review for AllMusic, says because of the length of some of the pieces, "there are some meandering moments but in general the interplay between the three musicians holds one's interest."The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Campbell remains a gratifying and lyrical performer, even at his furthest out."[2]
