Comments

Equivalent release: EmArcy SRE-66013 (stereo).

drilled hole thru the label and the cover.

Inside The Groove

Impressive quartet recording of early European free improvisations.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Zoller, Friedman, Phillips, Humair - nice members. On this album, they try to present fully musical improvisations in very modal mood. Although it's not a cutting-edge explorations, it's really a nice album IMHO.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
