This album was released in 1979 by the world-famous Japanese free jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita, who has many anecdotes to his name, including playing inside the barricades of Waseda University during the student movement. Recorded in New York in the same year, this is a quartet work with Joseph Jarman (ts,ft), Famoudou Don Moye (dr,per) and Malachi Favors Maghostus (b), all members of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. A2 is a very beautiful and emotional piece of jazz, while B1/B2 is an ethnic jazz piece that highlights the personalities of the three members of AEOC.
