Captured (and that is the right word for a wild animal) by bassist Steve Tintweiss, this free jam from 1967 in NYC gives an aural history of what the free jazz movement of the time was all about. The sound is pretty clear, and the music pretty wild, including Perry Robinson on trumpet and his only recorded foray on the bass clarinet. You’ve got trumpeters Jacques Coursil and Warren Gale joined with Robinson, as well as pianist/drummer Laurence Cook and bassist Steve Tintweiss. It’s almost impossible to tell which horn is which, with solos ricocheting off each other, traffic jams with honking horns akin to Via Nacionale in Naples, and flailing rhythms wondering if anything is going to stick to the wall. Was anyone listening to anyone else? It’s like listening to 3 Wagner operas simultaneously, without the overtures.
