Description

ALAN SILVA AND HIS CELESTRIAL COMMUNICATION ORCHESTRA - luna surface LP12th volume in the BYG Actuel series; 180 gram vinyl. "Super session recorded in Paris on August 17, 1969. Alan Silva collected here many of the top free jazz players of the time, an incredible 11 piece ensemble featuring, among others, Grachan Moncur III, Archie Shepp, Anthony Braxton, Dave Burrell, Leroy Jenkins, and Malachi Favors. As a result, this is a very free record and a historical document of Pan African high art music. Two tracks."

The six Sphere Studies are part of her ongoing examination of the material and metaphoric possibilities of mycelium
