Seikatsu Kōjyō Iinkai

Released

White hot American/Japanese collaboration from 1975 featuring Kazutoki Umezu on saxophone and Yoriyuki Harada on piano. William Parker, Ahmed Abdullah and Rashid Sinan help take the compositions out and keep these two long tracks crackling through the twists and turns of a session very much operating under the influence of the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
