Black Suite
(Get Back ) Used LP $30.00
“The presence of Anthony Braxton as part of the band really makes for an intoxicating brew,” says Eugene Chadbourne about this exploratory improv masterwork from 1971, “if abstract free jazz is the cup of tea on order. Braxton is fantastic in a collaboratory role, adding texture with his contrabass clarinet that brings to mind the fog rolling into the forest right before the scene where the villagers storm the evil castle. Arthur Jones cuts loose on alto sax… fiery, full of spirit, always an exciting presence. As kind of the lost voice of the trumpet in modern jazz, Coursil is not only a great discovery for the modern jazz fan, but a fine creative vintage that holds up to repeat visits over the years…. It is one of the best examples of just how beautiful modern jazz can be.” 2002 reissue on 180g vinyl
