Ex -Ayler skins technician , Sunny, not Sonny, Murray, gathers some of his highfalutin Jazz chums for an album of madness,while he continuously bashes his Ride cymbol for forty minutes and gets the top billing.
The opener suggests that we're in for another respectful spacey hommage to Africa, but the "Trane" word is used, so we get a slowly evolving hommage to the "Trane"...instead....again!
It's side B where the action gets serious, with some grade A sax abuse howling in your delicate shellikes via a triangulation of automatic sax playing from Arthur Jones, Archie Shepp,and Kenneth Terroade,backed up by Lester Bowie on a rather angry trumpet.Alan Silva's back on Bass and Dave Burrell is drowning on a rather submerged Piano.All done in an afternoon's work on August 15th, in Paris 1969. Now where the fuck did I put that damn Time Machine?

That searing cymbal was the main takeaway the first time I heard this, left me with an ear-splitting headache, and I DID have control of the volume. Recovered for side two tho'. Paris in 1969 couldn’t have been as fantastic as these Byg records suggest, but I can dream, can’t I? Looks like Pisŧöff wants to start a revolution. Good on ya bloke, much appreciated.
@ rev.b -- on Paris, 1969? One word: Gong. Seriously though, despite the (obvious) downsides, I think pretty much anywhere on the Continent between 69, 70 and 71 would have been pretty fantastic.
Ha...had that Mtume album in the queue for AGES. Never actually posted it that I can remember.
Love some Strata East albums. here's one:
