The Contemporary Jazz Quintet - Location (Strata, 1973).

Despite being the raw sound of the 1970s Detroit jazz underground, etc etc, this sure does sound like it could have been released on Three Blind Mice by some quietly spoken Tokyo Daigaku students (save for from an audio standpoint). It's funny this sort of electric jazz wasn't more widespread.

For me it was a big, big disappointment that he doesn´t play himself on it. I don´t really know the reasons, the only thing I know is that it was toward the end of his live, and in his last years he was very very sick and had a terminal cancer. So maybe it was like Mingus´ on his last record, where he didn´t play bass because he became ill....

I think that’s correct. If I remember correctly he was in and out of hospital during that period and had married the (English born) nurse who had looked after him in the hospital. I remember hearing her story on a BBC Radio interview talking about Tadd many decades ago.
