Motherland Pulse is the debut album by saxophonist Steve Coleman recorded in 1985 and released on the JMT label. [1] [2]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "The funky yet creative music has less crowded ensembles than Coleman's upcoming records would, and serves as a fine showcase for the talented and strikingly original altoist who contributed six of the eight numbers". [3]
