Description
Note the small “Rick Ballard Imports” sticker on the back cover.
Tchicai who was born in Denmark was a member of Archie Shepp's New York Contemporary Five and the New York Art Quartet. He played on John Coltrane's Ascension, and Albert Ayler's New York Eye and Ear Control, both influential free jazz recordings. He died in October 2012 at the age of 76. This is one of his early recordings as a leader.
Recorded during "Free Concert" at Townhall Charlottenbug/Berlin on February 16th, 1977 with the "FMP-Mobile-Recording-Unit".
“Overshadowed by his peers from the '60s, this solo album convincingly made the case for John Tchicai as a great saxophonist and flutist. Unfortunately, few heard it! Rediscover this spellbinding recital, full of sinuous repetitions, memorable melodies that emerge and recede, and trance-like riffs. It contains an Indian inflected flute piece reminiscent of Don Cherry and a terrific duo with Albert Mangelsdorff. Throughout, Tchicai erases the line between composition and improve” –
