Milford Graves

Milford Graves with Arthur Doyle and Hugh Glover, in the weeks leading up to their March 1976 recording of Bäbi.
Graves recorded these sessions himself in his legendary Queens basement laboratory and workshop. Outstandingly, the first two sides feature Graves on drums alongside Glover on klaxon and a Haitian one-note trumpet called a vaccine — “it’s important to keep that tribal possession-state feel… as in the Divine Horsemen of Haiti,” he says in the sleevenotes — and especially riveting, scorching tenor playing by Doyle, even by his own standards.
Peter Brötzmann, Milford Graves, and William Parker, live and direct form the front room of CBGBs in 2002, with the drummer’s hand-painted, Orisha-adorned double-bass-drum kit, captured in its full thunderous glory on this recording, occupying most of the available space.
First in a series of records presenting previously unreleased works featuring Milford Graves.
