Dave Burrell - Echo (1969)

The quintessential wild free jazz album lies here in front of you. Free jazz is all about the abstract creation of freedom. Through sounds, through forms, shapes, a free jazz player tries to escape the material world to just exist within the song and his instrument. On the first side of Echo, we have a very wild piece of 20 minutes called Echo on which all the players (BYG all stars Clifford Thornton, Alan Silva, Archie Shepp, Grachan Moncur III, Sunny Murray, Arthur Jones and leader Dave Burrell) are going completely over the top. You have to hear it to believe me.

The second side of the record is calm compared to the first piece, but still beautiful and still far from normal jazz, as most people know it. I'm giving you a vinyl rip that contains some scratches, so bear with me. It is the only digital copy around on the net, so enjoy it.
