The record
Cut during the group's fertile 1969 stretch, this session finds the collective's "little instruments" ethos in full bloom -- horns, hand percussion, and stray sirens colliding across long-form group improvisation. A vivid document of the Ensemble's early exploratory reach, before their Paris exile fully crystallized the sound.
