A trio album released in 1978 featuring American guitarist Henry Kaiser, who is also an ethnomusicologist, Italian-American percussionist Andrea Centazzo, and Japanese trumpeter Toshinori Kondo, who had just moved to New York. Released on Metalanguage, a label run by Henry Kaiser. Although the tracks are finely divided, it is entirely an improvised performance, with free music unfolding throughout as they explore each other's breathing and release and layer various fragments of sound. This is a dead stock unused item that we opened the shrink wrap to check the condition. Due to the long-term tightening of the shrink wrap, side A is concave and there is a slight warp in the disc, but it plays without issue.
