Violinist Billy Bang made his recording debut as a leader with the
Survival Ensemble, the first working band he ever led, on New York
Collage in 1979. Bang, saxophonists Bilal Abdur Rahman and Henry Warner,
bassist William Parker, and percussionists Rashid Bakr and Khuwana John
Fuller played incendiary free jazz more clearly indebted to the New
York avant-garde of the preceding decade than any album Bang would
record again. The music’s urgency and passion arose from the
exhilaration of artistic self-discovery shared by everyone in the group,
and the intensity of their need to express their feelings.
This album really is a loft era classic. Proudly flaunting its New York
roots, it insists that music based on the innovations of Coltrane,
Ayler, Taylor, could grow in new directions, absorb new influences, and
engage contemporary political realities.
