In 1966, the late Steve Lacy visited the new ESP-DISK' office at 156 5th Avenue with a master tape of his concert in Buenos Aires with his quartet, Louis Moholo, Enrico Rava and Johnny Dyani. He offered to sell the master for what I thought was an exorbitant price. I bought it. This LP was released featuring a reproduction of a painting by his friend, the late Bob Thompson, who had died before obtaining recognition. In 1992, the master tape was brought to engineer Ken Robertson at the Sony Studio, who observed that it had been recorded out of phase, and he corrected the phasing. - Bernard Stollman

Press Quotes

"As a recording of an important figure getting further out than before, as a document of a band that was short-lived but remarkable, and as a debut by a future force in trumpeting, this is a highly important record." - The Daily Jazz

"The musical interaction that takes place over 40 minutes here is compelling, fraught with openness and the willingness to explore the margins." - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
