Product Description
Thirty-three years after it was recorded, this document remains startling. It is, on one hand, a treasure unearthed from the halcyon days of free jazz. But more than that, it is what was, at the time, occasionally referred to as "living music"--music in/about/of life. It has some of the flavor of the mid-60's New York avant-garde (prevalent aesthetic at the time), but the Contemporary Jazz Quintet has something very much its own in its group sensibility and especially in its sound. The singing saw is woven into the fabric of the ensemble; it is a deep part of the very soul of the the Quintet, a wailing, sorrowful/joyous sound that echoes the saxophone and trumpet and leads them to squalls of energy and interaction otherwise unforseen. Music of its time. Music of our time. Startling music. Any time.
