Out of stock

** Edition of 102 hand numbered copies. Crystal, slightly orange/blue marbled vinyl ** A stunning little session – and every bit as wonderful as you'd expect from a lineup that includes Dollar Brand, Don Cherry, and Carlos Ward! The three players work together here in open, spiritual styles – with really long-flowing lines from Brand on piano, in a more modal style that's different from some of his other records – balanced out with bold trumpet lines from Cherry, and soaring alto sax from Ward – a player who doesn't always get the chance to step out this much! All three players vocalize a bit, but more in some sort of rootsy way that echoes the music – and the album's a really unique outing from all three players – and a set to be ranked with their best from the time. Recorded live at Jazzhus Montmartre, Copenhagen, November 14, 1972. Recording engineer: Lars Vester Petersen.

Dollar Brand: piano, vocals
Don Cherry: trumpet, vocals, percussion
Carlos Ward: alto saxophone, vocals, percussion

Titles include "Don's Song", "Cherry", "Bra Joe From Kilimanjaro", "Swazi", and "Jabulani Easter Joy".
