{Notes}
From Milford Graves' guttural experiments with percussion and the body to Mary Lou Williams' jazz combo interrupted by atonal "fungus," this compilation of new (1970s) music makes for an eclectic mix of musical sounds. Star innovators Gil Evans, Sam Rivers, Sunny Murray also contribute to this collection of jazz.
