1965: the mighty Henry Grimes - bassist for Ayler, Shepp, Rollins, Cecil Taylor and half the revolution besides - steps out as leader with Perry Robinson on clarinet and Tom Price on drums. Dark, woody, deeply melodic free music: Grimes' huge arco and pizzicato voice at the center, Robinson's clarinet threading folk memory through the freedom, the trio format leaving every gesture exposed. This was his only leader date before the long disappearance that became one of jazz's most haunting mysteries - and, decades later, one of its most moving returns. As both music and testimony, an ESP-Disk' cornerstone. CD edition, and required for anyone who cares about the bass in this music.
