This is ace. A meeting of Balkan folk and jazz, from 1966, with Mal Waldron and Nathan Davis. Very warmly recommended.

A suite inspired by Eduardo Galeano’s Memory Of Fire — a history of the Americas told through indigenous myths and the accounts of European colonizers.
The wonderful pianist with Ron Miles on cornet, Liberty Ellman on guitar, Stomu Takeishi on bass, and Tyshawn Sorey on drums, ranging through Pan-Americana, hardcore jazz, the blues, and African and Eastern elements.
Staunch Myra admirers, us lot, ever since her first Hat Huts.

Dazzling sax-based settings for strings, edgy and lyrical both. The Turkish PM told Shimon Peres recently: ‘Atmon, a Jew himself, says that Israeli barbarity is far beyond ordinary cruelty.’ Bird Lives!
