An incredible live recording of a concert hosted by the Goethe Institut of Kabul on September 22, 1976. More than sixty minutes of convulsive jams – and hypnotic obscure interludes to loop your head to – captured on reel-to-reel tape, edited and mastered for the best vinyl listening experience that will definitely prove you how free Afghanistan once was. The public too has never been this reactive, shouting and clapping to the music of the quartet directed by our beloved Hartmut Geerken, who also plays piano using both the keys and the chords. Cardboard album edition, first twenty copies come with an original copy of the program, signed and numbered on pink paper. ressing info: 250 copies on black.

Son parcours a croisé celui de l’Art Ensemble of Chicago, de Sunny Murray, Don Cherry, Okay Termiz, Peter Kowald, Takehisa Kosugi, Toshi Ichiyanagi ou Michael Ranta…
