    he`s usually busy answering emails about where to find multiple velvet undergound acetates, just be a lil patient.

    I am bumping this because I came across it in a google search.... and should have chimed in at the time.

    This album is among the rawest, most earthy private free jazz. If you try to get into this after listening to yogi jazz or roy ayers you will not get it. There is structure and they are excellent musicians. The main appeal is it's meditative and dark, but they don't succumb to meaningless sax blowing, randomness, or "afro-centric" chanting. Basically it's a record of Hemphill & Wadud going through a college period, pre-B.A.G... For what it's worth, I played this for a friend of mine who coined the term "turkey jazz" for crappy free jazz, and even he was interested in it.

    My previously unshakeable faith in the
    impeccable taste of inVrs has been crushed.

    I feel lost.
