Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released on the pioneering ESP-Disk label, this album captures pianist Burton Greene deeply immersed in the explosive New York free jazz scene. Featuring early appearances by saxophonist Marion Brown and bassist Henry Grimes, the quartet engages in intense, highly abstract improvisations that largely abandon standard rhythmic or harmonic structures. It is a challenging, historically significant document of the mid-century avant-garde.
