Description
Material from the "Why Not" Series - Until now unheard for nearly two decades - showcasing cutting edge jazz from the 1970'S Air, the archetypal free jazz trio, originally formed out of a similar co-operative called Reflection in 1971.
Henry Threadgill on Saxophone, Fred Hopkins on bass and Steve McCall on percussions.
The perceptive Japanese producer Masahiko Yuh recorded Air for his Why Not label.
The band went on to reach notoriety with their ragtime inspired free jazz albums.
The trio functions with all three members contributing musically on an equal foot, the creative solos and advanced interplay make this record sublimely satisfying.
Originally released on the "Why Not" label this album fell into obscurity until Candid Record's Alan Bates acquired the label in the late 1990s.
In 2009 Candid bring these fantastic recordings back from the brink.
