The Call

A rare and important album featuring the legendary bassist Henry Grimes in one of his few appearances as a leader before his long disappearance from the music scene. This is a work of pure, conversational free jazz. The interplay between Grimes's powerful, resonant bass, Perry Robinson's adventurous clarinet, and Tom Price's textural drumming is completely spontaneous. It's a key document of the mid-60s New York avant-garde.
