80° Below '82 is an album by the improvisational collective Air featuring Henry Threadgill, Steve McCall and Fred Hopkins, recorded in 1982 for the Antilles label.[1]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This blues-oriented set is more accessible than many of Air's previous recordings without watering down the explorative nature of this always-interesting group".[2] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said it "captures the telepathic agreement of Air's members in full glory".[3]
