Thank you! This is rare. While I have some Asian Improv's, a few years ago I accosted Jang at a concert of his Big Band in DC and asked how i could get a copy of his first BB recording as it was out of print. He had no idea. I actually found a used copy later.
Appreciated, thanks.
Thanks.
Great record, thank you!
A sealed copy of this sat at Modern Times books in San Francisco for years (I already owned a copy) till I finally got frustrated that no one was snatching it up, bought it, and sent it to a friend. I once saw Jang & Co do a very powerful version of Mingus's Meditations on Integration that left me with a feeling I should never forget.

Thank you
