In Search of the Mystery, Gato Barbierifs debut album as
leader, was recorded March 15, 1967, on the heels of his work on Don Cherryfs
famed Blue Note recordings: Complete Communion and Symphony for Improvisers.
This avant-jazz masterpiece from the Argentine tenor saxophonist shows off his
volatile, shrieking sound to full and unrelenting affect, fueled by the twin
interweaving strings of cellist Calo Scott and bassist Norris Jones (Sirone) and
Bobby Kappfs impressionistic drum splatter. Recorded in one day, the session
exemplifies the spirited energy of the times and remains distinctive and
inspiring today. Personnel Gato Barbieri: saxophone |

Press Quotes
gIn Search of the Mystery is one of Gato Barbieri's early fiery sets. It was released on the ESP label and follows that tradition of stunningly chaotic jazz. This hit-and-run date consists of four tracks, all recorded on March 15, 1967. It is relentless, with Barbieri screaming on tenor throughout, backed by an interesting instrumental array of Sirone on bass, Calo Scott on cello, and Bobby Kapp on drums. Like most ESP dates, this is intense early cutting-edge free jazz, so much so that it continues to be in the early 21st century.h - Al Campbell
