Avant garde jazz from multi-instrumentalist Thornton (percussion, horns) that also features Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray and Grachan Moncur III. Very much in the style of other Actuel releases from this period (1969).
First part of an improvised session of duets recorded with Ed Blackwell on drums/percussion for BYG/Actuel in France, 1969. Mystical, meditative, hypnotic.
One of the the great debuts in jazz history!
