Very nice, obscure west coast free jazz session circa 1967. All the pieces were either written by pianist Lee Cronbach or bass clarinetist Pat Wallace, two folks about whom I haven’t been able to find any further information. They cover a fair amount of aesthetic ground, with some almost classical touches at times, but for me they sound best when going full bore, as on Wallace’s “We’ll Think of that, Later”; it goes there. Nice cover art, with a “Folkways style” wraparound sleeve. Never on CD. Sealed copies, going fast...
