Free Style is, as its title implies, Harrison's amalgamation of jazz improvisation with funky hip hop rhythms. The youthful accompanying trio of pianist Glen Patscha, bassist Vicente Archer and drummer John Lamkin is well suited to the contemporary music, the melodic and harmonic simplicity of which allows the leader ample space to improvise freely. The disc opens with "Hand Jive (not the credited Tony Williams composition from the Miles Davis Nefertiti album but the Johnny Otis rock 'n' roll classic). Harrison transforms the popular piece, taking it uncharacteristically soft and slow, with Patscha's moody chords altering it to more of a dirge. The Harrison composed title track, a spare trio dance with the altoist getting down on top of Archer's insistent bass line and Lamkin's steady drumbeat, lives up to its rap influenced name. "New Hope is an exquisitely beautiful ode to optimism by the quartet. "Get Your Swerve, another funky trio performance, has some interesting twists, while the quartet's soulful interpretation of "So What is an alto tour de force played over a backbeat. The collectively composed "Rock Song, covers of "Well You Needn't and "Iko Iko and Harrison's "Free To Be follow similar routes. The disc is filled out with two pieces from Harrison's Heroes CD—worthwhile alternate takes of that date's title track and Ron Carter's "Candlelight.
