"First ever reissue of this free jazz classic. Limited edition of 500 copies. Comes with an extensive essay on the Black Artists Group, printed on the inner sleeve. Written by Benjamin Looker, author of
Point From Which Creation Starts: The Black Artists' Group Of St. Louis
.
"The Black Artists Group was an unit not unlike that of The Art Ensemble of Chicago. Except they only recorded this one document and it only came out in France on a label named after the group. This is squeaky, spindly stuff and very OPEN and a good indication of what was happening in the early 70s with members Oliver Lake (later of the World Saxophone Quartet) and Joseph Bowie (Art Ensemble's Lester Bowie's bro, later to start Defunkt). If you like Art Ensemble of Chicago (circa the 1970s) and the Human Arts Ensemble, you'll like this recording."
--Thurston Moore
