| Thought to have been lost,
ESP recently recovered this master tape by Norman Howard (once side
man to Albert Ayler), and is now releasing this exceptional album for
the first time. Digitally remastered. Manufactured in the USA by the
original label. Never before released Studio Recording.
"Despite the profound obscurity of Norman Howard's music, and that of
his mate Joe Phillips, it's crucial as a window not only into the
influence that Albert Ayler carried in creative music, but into how
the Aylers affected the musicians of their hometown. Most
importantly, this reflects on how vital free music has been at the
local level, where it remains so to this day." - Clifford Allen
"Flame-throwing trumpeter Norman Howard has been long lost in the
American free jazz void. He appeared on Albert Ayler's Spirits
alongside heavyweights Sunny Murray and Henry Grimes in 1964, and
penned the tune 'Witches & Devils.' In the year of freedom, 1968, he
cut apparently his only sides as a leader, which were unreleased and
vaulted for twenty years. Furthering the legend, 1988 saw an
ill-circulated, microscopic 100-copy cassette run from the Scottish
Homeboy label, who had acquired the master tapes. In 1997, Henry
Rollins was rumored to have bought the tapes and earmarked them for
release on his 2.13.61 label, but Bernard Stollmann's resurrected
ESP-Disk - who the tapes apparently originally belonged to - has now
overtaken the undertaking. Rivaled only by Don Ayler's legendary ca.
1968 unreleased session for Amiri Baraka's Jihad label as the most
prayed for, prime-era reissue by an otherwise unrecorded band leader
from the riot time, this blown-out, sidewinding freedom scrawl has
finally found its way home. Now dig." - Kris Price |
