Tin Can Alley is a studio album by Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition recorded in September 1980 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features saxophonists Chico Freeman and John Purcell and bassist Peter Warren.[1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The wide-ranging music on this fine set ranges from African rhythms and colors reminiscent of Duke Ellington to some boppish moments and a bit of light funk. Although not the most powerful version of Special Edition, this set is recommended."[2]
