A 1974 leader album by Austrian trumpeter Michael Mantler, who, together with Carla Bley, co-founded the Jazz Composers Orchestra Association in New York and produced numerous landmark sessions. Featuring Don Cherry(trumpet), Carla Bley (piano), and Jack Bruce (vocals, bass), the work is based on a passage from Irish writer Samuel Beckett’s novel How It Is. Opening with Bley’s piano and solemn choral arrangements, the album unfolds dramatically with Bruce’s spoken narration, creating a powerful sense of storytelling throughout. A true masterpiece, highlighted by Cherry’s deeply emotional trumpet performance. Original U.S. pressing.
