Echo
(Get Back ) Used LP $29.75
After an opening low-end piano crash, all hell breaks loose. This veritable who’s who of the 1969 Paris free jazz scene — Archie Shepp, Clifford Thornton, Alan Silva, Sunny Murray, Arthur Jones, Grachan Moncur III — pounds its brains out. This is seriously free improvisation. On the swirling and dreamy “Peace,” Burrell runs a simple cascading scale up and down and back and forth, just the antidote for the title track’s tension on side one. A monster of an LP. 2001 reissue.
