I play vibraphone on this record. It was not recorded at '79 Moers Festival but rather a few days later at Palm Studio, Paris/France. The Leo Smith Creative Orchestra and The Roscoe Mitchell Creative Orchestra were indeed recorded at the Moers Festival by WDR but never released.(I have a private tape)I used my vibraphone at Moers but when we tuned up in the Paris studio I gave my A as pianist Marilyn Crispell sounded her A. Ouch! The tuning in Paris was A442 versus my vibes A440. The session was delayed about an hour until an A442 vibraphone was borrowed or leased.
