Noah HOWARD - Space Dimension 1970
30 AM 6108.
Jazz
Slightly strange session, with regular Howard/Wright/Few drummer Muhammed Ali replaced on most tracks by Art Taylor. Actually, Taylor wasn't averse to collaborating with the "new thing" Paris-based exiles at the time and there's a degree of give-and-take in so far as the others rein in some of their more extreme tendencies (contrast the single track with Ali which is much more in the ecstatic vein).
Losing some of the group's density isn't wholly a bad thing - letting the ideas of the horns (and what Few actually plays) come through much more clearly than on some of their other sessions (which sometimes seemed to prioritise excitement over invention).
By no means the incompatibility that first appearances suggest.
