GEORGE RUSSELL
Electronic Sonata For Souls Loved By Nature (1968)

1985 SOUL NOTE ITALY (SN 1034) PRESSING OF THE ORIGINAL 1969 RECORDING WITH THE ORIGINAL MUSICIANS (Remixed in New York, 1982 - Remastered at PolyGram, Tribiano - Milano)
AN IMMACULATE COPY OF THIS MASTERPIECE
RECORD: MINT - unplayed - no spindle traces - unmarked as-new surfaces
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT - slight rub to spine and a couple of light marks to the front - nothing really

Recorded live at the Sonja Henie/Niels Onstad Center For The Arts, on April 28th, 1969, at Høvikodden, near Oslo, Norway.
The electronic tapes was composed in the Electronic Music Studios (EMS) of the Swedish Radio in Stockholm.
The tapes of African vocals and lute was recorded by Cal Floyd in 1967 in Nile headquarters region of North Uganda.

Composer, theorist, arranger, and pianist George Russell debuted his 14-part master composition "Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved By Nature" on April 28, 1969, at a concert in Norway. The ambitious, elaborate work blended bebop, free, Asian, and blues elements, as well as electronic effects, and mixed live performance with tape and vocal segments. It was a testimony to the prowess of trumpeter Manfred Schoof, tenor saxophonist Jan Garbarek, guitarist Terje Rypdal, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer John Christensen that they weren't overwhelmed by the sheer weight of the experience. The digital mastering enables listeners to fully hear the disparate styles converging, and understand just how advanced Russell's concepts were, particularly for the time. While not everything worked, the composition ranks alongside Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz" as one of jazz's finest, most adventurous pieces.
