CD debut: John Carter/B. Bradford—Self Determination Music
Posted: March 22nd, 2015, 10:16 am
"Rare West Coast experimental jazz album from 1970 [when the LP was released by Flying Dutchman], on CD for the first time."
The CD was issued earlier in March 2015 on the BGP label—an imprint of UK-based Ace Records, whose blurb about the album is here.
John Carter — reeds
Bobby Bradford — trumpet or cornet
Tom Williamson — bass
Henry Franklin — bass (too)
Bruz (aka Buzz) Freeman — drums
Unless it's been corrected, the CD's back cover calls the second track "The Eyes of the Storm," but on the LP, the title was "The Eye of the Storm." It's the album's sole composition by Bradford; the other three tracks are by Carter. All four tracks of the LP can be heard on YouTube—the first two are here and the last two are here.
