Recorded in Copenhagen 1966-67. For many, perhaps most, free music fans outside Denmark, this disc will be a revelation. But The Contemporary Jazz Quintet was an active part of the European free jazz movement. There is simply nothing else like this sound in the whole gamut of free music. This is unprecedented music, totally fresh and pulsing, at times frightening in its intensity. Music of its time. Music of our time. Startling music. Any time.
Mainada! Cru e duro como poucos ouvir se podem. New Thingíssimo, é preciso não confundir com o contemporâneo New York Contemporary Five, de Archie Shepp. Atavistic/Unheard Music Series, 1966/1967.
