THE BYRON ALLEN TRIO-FREE PSYCHEDELIC JAZZ 1964 CD

THE BYRON ALLEN TRIO
NEW CD

"Debut album recorded in 1964. Four tracks, including "Decision For The Cole-Man" (Ornette Coleman suggested that ESP make the recording). With Allen on alto sax, Maceo Gilchrist on bass, and Ted Robinson on percussion." Bernard Stollman: "Like all ESP sessions, before and since, the artist laid down his compositions, dictated their editing sequence and left. The time required rarely exceeded two hours from start to finish."

BYRON ALLEN recorded his ESP album at the Mirasound Studio in midtown Manhattan, on the afternoon of September 25, 1964. Alfy Wade was the engineer who would also record the PAUL BLEY QUINTET (ESP 1008) a month later. Like all ESP sessions, before and since, the artist recorded, dictated the editing sequence, and left. The time required to record the complete album  rarely exceeded 3 hours from start to finish.
