RELEASE DATE

2022 restock, last copies. Re-issued by the request of
Noah Howard
's family and estate. Noah sadly passed away suddenly on the 3rd of September, 2010. Born in New Orleans in 1943, Noah was a key player in the U.S. free jazz scene from the late '60s. He recorded albums for ESP and numerous other labels, including his own Altsax label. Many see 1969's
The Black Ark
as Noah's defining statement, so it is only fitting that it should be available once again. "It's no understatement that
The Black Ark
is one of the most sought-after underground free jazz releases of all time. The original Freedom vinyl LP and the brief Japanese CD reissue were criminally out-of-print and impossible to find. Both versions popped up on internet auction sites once in a blue moon but when they did, they always fetched insanely astronomical prices. This record simply is THE BOMB -- a perfect combination of Noah's soulful compositions and playing, infused with plenty of sweet/sour/in/out forms and shapes from the incredible line-up assembled for this release. Plus we get to experience
Arthur Doyle
's outrageous debut on a recording session, increasing the playing and feeling to an intense level throughout. And dig the spaced-out Afro-delay on
Juma
's percussion (yes,
that
Juma from
Hendrix
's killer Woodstock show of the same year). All of the players on this record combine to make it a CLASSIC and its esteemed reputation is well earned." --
Oren Ambarchi
Musicians on this record include: Noah Howard (alto), Arthur Doyle (tenor),
Earl Cross
(trumpet),
Leslie Waldron
(piano),
Norris Jones
(bass),
Mohammed Ali
(drums), and Juma (congas).
