“Nearly 40 years after its creation, Weird Forest is proud to release this seminal jazz album for the first time ever on vinyl. The incendiary grooves captured in this wax defy description. It is not free, funk, fusion or fire music – it encompasses all of these sounds and then blasts far beyond them. Featuring the late great organist, Larry Young, this album is mandatory listening for fans of Miles Davis’ “Live Evil” fusion era, Young’s own “Lawrence Of Newark”, Sun Ra’s cosmic explorations and even Japanese guitar terrorists like Keiji Haino and Masayuki Takayanagi. Remastered for this first time-vinyl release by Weasel Walter. Limited to 500 copies with deluxe Stoughton tip-on style gatefold jackets.
“Love Cry Want was a legendary jazz fusion group based in Washington D.C., and led by guitarist, Nicholas. This recording took place during a series of concerts in Washington, held across from the White House in Lafayette Park, and featured the late, great jazz organist Larry Young, who had just recorded the historic “Bitches Brew” LP with Miles Davis and had left the Tony Williams Lifetime and guitarist John McLaughlin to combine forces with Nicholas and drummer, Joe Gallivan.
“This second incarnation of Love Cry Want featured the triumvirate of Nicholas, Gallivan, and Young performing some of the most important music in the history of jazz. No record company would release this music, which was ahead of its time. Nicholas, who pioneered the development of the first guitar synthesizer (in association with Electronic Music Laboratories) performs on the first prototype guitar 'synth' along with fellow musician, Joe Gallivan, who pioneered the development of the drum synthesizer with inventor, Robert Moog.“ – Weird Forest
