Norman Howard – "Signals" (Homeboy Music – Homeboy Music 1) 1989

More unreleased jazz joy from the same sessions in Cleveland in November 1968, come the rest of the "Burn Baby Burn" sessions that spawned the aborted "Burn Baby Burn" album on ESP disk. Again thanks to obscure UK cassette label "Homeboy Music"from back in the days when all homeboys were out crate-digging,looking for those impossible to find Jazz albums for breaks to sample for their Hip-Hop tunes and other dance music atrocities.

Norman's a pretty mean horn player it has to be said...I assume that's him pictured on the insert in a car with some weird shit attached to it.....either that or he was a Cab Driver.....not much money in Free Jazz back then I guess?

Tracklist:

1 Soul Brother Genius
2 Burn, Baby, Burn
3 Haunted
4 Bug Out
5 Deep Black Mystery
6 Soul Resurrection

Norman Howard – "Burn, Baby, Burn" (Homeboy Music – Homeboy Music 2) 1968/1993

Luckily for you Americans out there, The UK, appreciates your music culture more than you do,or don't as is the case,and this session recorded in November 1968 by former Ayler associates Norman Howard and Joe Phillips,was originally Intended to be released on ESP Disk , in 1969, but was typically shelved and forgotten, until some obscure limey cassette label decided to release a cassette of the full session for English hipsters to swap their hard earned Pounds for. Without Japan,and the northern European market,and especially France, all that Free Jazz that makes us seem passably intelligent would have been thrown away in some dumpster in Kentucky decades ago,or reconstituted as Grits and Twinkies for a Los Angeles Food Bank financed by the Republican party.

This tape is from the more laid back dope smoking end of the Free Jazz drug spectrometer. Made for your next Fondue Soirée with your college professor friends and cool twenty-first century designer label Beatniks.
