Do you know Don Cherry's COMPLETE COMMUNION? I think that fits this bill. I'd also recommend THE STRAIGHT HORN OF STEVE LACY on Candid, which features Charles Davis on baritone. The Lacy - Charles Tyler date on Silkheart — ONE FELL SWOOP — is not dissimilar. Finally, Frank Lowe's EXOTIC HEARTBREAK. Not a piano-less band, but the piano duties are handled (and then some) by Amina Claudine Myers.

Hate to hear this, but glad to know he'd been getting some wider recognition of his considerable talents in recent years.

It's a polarizing performance for sure. I appreciate the proto-punk-ness of it all myself, but I also can't deny the bad vibes emanating from these grooves. I'm surprised MacLean stuck around as long as he did. But we got FOREVER CHANGES out of it, so...

DA CAPO by Love, released in 1966, features the first side-long composition/performance by a rock band. "Revelation." This track features a sax solo by one Tjay Cantrelli, aka John Barberis.

I would never have pegged Bill Crow as a precursor to Eddie Prevost and the experimental, mostly UK-based musicians associated with "egoless improvisation." But his critique is as much social as it is aesthetic. Those are inextricably linked, of course, especially in music/practice that involves this level of spontaneous collaboration. And I'm not disagreeing with Crow... just interesting to me to see these threads running through to the evolution of an avant-garde Crow likely would have criticized for other reasons.
