Release Notes:
Although the great Charlie Parker and John Coltrane
were among saxophonist Bunky Green's strongest
early influences, he soon went on to develop his
own personal style that made him one of the most
promising artists of the 1970s. Green broke out of
the jazz mold and began incorporated numerous
genres, including rock, eastern music, classical,
gospel and blues, into his playing. After several
years as a sideman for Mingus, Freddie Hubbard,
Yusef Lateef, Cannonball Adderly and Roland Kirk,
to name a few, Green stopped playing conventional
jazz and began studying new expressive techniques
(it often seems that he uses his saxophone to
imitate the human voice), these musical innovations
are brought together on this amazing 1977 Vanguard
release, finally available again on Comet/Universe.
6 tracks in a cardboard gatefold sleeve. 2003.
