note this cd was a very limited release-500 copies .
christ knows why it'S one of the most intense parker's of the period,this is a group that worked together often with the exeption of akchote who was standing in for john russell the english improv guitarist. this is an altogether,different affair with akchote sounding almost belligerant at times. the whole thing almost has the flavour of an e.s.p blowout with hints of (or more an erasure )of early fusion, akchote almost sounding like mclaughlin-circa 1968 ,69 around the time of extrapolation. big slashing dissonant cluster chords...etc etc i dont have either the cover or liner notes im afraid i burnt this some years ago having borrowed it from a friend do yourselves a favor and grab it, it'l probably never be reissued!! think its 190 kbs,
the above description is just a whimsical spontaneous personal response, you may well feel differently. however one feels this is a very vivid session.
