ESPDISK 1008CD
"Paul Bley recorded the compositions of Carla Bley with a quintet that included Eddie Gomez, on the evening of October 20, 1964, at Mirasound Studios, with Alfy Wade as engineer. His group included Milford Graves, Marshall Allen of the Sun Ra Arkestra, and Dewey Johnson. Today, Marshall leads the Sun Ra Arkestra."
"Pianist Paul Bley's early ESP free jazz session combines the influence of the Jazz Composer's Guild with Ornette Coleman. On
Barrage
, Bley is joined by alto saxophonist Marshall Allen (in one of his few appearances outside of Sun Ra's Arkestra), trumpeter Dewey Johnson (who would go on to play on Coltrane's
Ascension
the following year), Eddie Gomez on bass, and Milford Graves taking care of percussion. All compositions are by Bley's former wife, Carla Bley, with a definite nod to Coleman's hyperactive stop-start punctuation (Paul Bley had fronted one of the earliest incarnations of the original Coleman quartet). Graves and Allen are especially irrepressible here, making Barrage a lost free jazz classic."

"This historic album, originally released on ESP-Disk in 1965 (featuring drummer Barry Altschul and bassist Steve Swallow), is one of Canadian-born pianist Paul Bley's most adventurous albums of the period. Bley helped spearhead the 1960s free jazz movement, standing shoulder to shoulder with men like Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry."
