Sunny Murray – The Lie , DIW 850925, 33 1/3 rpm (JAP) 1965

 

Limited edition 7”, japanese only

 

This is the sensational track that was left over at the classic JIHAD session of Sonny/ Sunny Murray, recording Sonny´s Time Now on the legendary record label of poet Amira Baraka (Leroi Jones). Released only in Japan as a 7” ep on vinyl. Accompanying the japanese edition of this classic free jazz bomb!

The music is of course absolutely mindblowing and just mesmerazing! Recorded november 11th, 1965 in New York with the label owner reciting his own poem in a classic manner.

Albert Ayler and Don Cherry at their peaks — ripping the flesh out of it all. And with two amazing bass players backing them up, Worrell and Grimes.

Released in japan in a limited run… almost 6 minutes of pure…music…extacy… and BEAUTY!
