    • 4. Eighty First Street

    This is an obscure release on the avant-garde Freedom label from 1968. The album is indeed avant-garde that doesn't begin to describe it. This is one of the heaviest left-field jazz albums I have ever heard! Recorded in Italy in 1968 it is a truely unique piece of genius. A one-off collaboration that was 100% successfull.If you are into Art Ensemble etc, this is a must! 

    '81st Street' features on Soul Jazz's Freedom, Rhythm and Sound album.
