This 1966 LP by the Burton Greene Trio on a New York college tour is an odd duck. Then again, it’s supposed to be. Avant-garde keyboardist Greene, along with bassist Steve Tintweiss and drummer Shelly Rusten, had a bit of an academic motivation for their excursion. Their goal was to “open up some heads” and learn people to the fact that “the results were as musically complex and often more so than, let’s say Beethoven” as advised by group leader Burton Greene.On Tour is a challenging listen, but it’s one that has been softened by time. Lots of albums in the avant-jazz genre have come and gone since then, but they are all thumbprints—no two are alike. This forgotten Greene release captures his trio in a peculiar adventurous light -- truly designed to "open up your head." After understanding Greene’s direction, you’re convinced that the tour that spawned On Tour wasn’t really about following a structured format either. As he said they “tried to encourage people to open up their minds and learn to do their own thing rather than to follow the band blindly and mimic our techniques, etc.” ..... Don’t know about you, but we’ve never heard such encouraging words before (!) Here's a couple of questions to Burton Greene with amusing answers: What about your ESP album, Burton Greene Quartet [ESP 1024] "Originally I proposed a quartet with Marion Brown and Henry Grimes and Rashied Ali, but Rashied couldn't commit himself to the recording because he was going with Trane, so Dave Grant and Tom Price did two tracks each on the album, and Frank Smith guested on tenor on "Taking it Out of the Ground". Who knows where Dave is now? I know Frank's out in California. The only thing that worked against Frank was that he looked like an Irish cop (laughs). When he walked into Slugs the cats used to say "Put your shit away, the Man's here!" Yeah, Rashied was already with Trane.. Trane was a train, man. He had an immense profile, I mean he wasn't a big guy but you always pictured him about seven feet tall. Modest, unassuming cat, diligent, worked all the time on his shit. Everybody knew that whatever he would do he would master it. Even though he came on the free scene later he came on as a master." I suppose you've seen as little payment from your ESP album - same for the other artists on the label.. .? "Nobody's seen nothing. As far as material compensation goes, forget it. And now a whole bunch of other hustlers and gangsters are ripping us off, ZYX, Get Back, Base and now Abraxas. They say "you want money, go see Bernard Stollman (ESP label owner).." But Bernard put the company in his ex-wife's name. All the flak goes that way, and Bernard keeps the masters and reissues them, like Beethoven going to three different publishers with the "one and only" copy of the Third Symphony (laughs). Actually, it's not funny anymore. I think that after forty years it's time we got compensated. Same with BYG Actuel. I got $100 for that Actuel album and $64 from ESP. I've got broadband internet now and I browse and see 14 pages of listings of my ESP shit reissued from here to Timbuktu and nobody's getting a dime. I've heard Bernard's hard luck story too often, how he claims he got ripped off by Base or ZYX. He's got to wake up sometime, and if people are up for it I'm ready to instigate a class action lawsuit. I already wrote to most of the group leaders but I've had very few replies. Apathy or indifference. And maybe if it went to a class action suit there'd no money in the coffers anyway. You know what lawyers charge!" BLOOM IN THE COMMUNE...9:50 ASCENT...11:25 TREE THEME ...12:35 TRANSCENDENCE ...12:42
CONDITION: The cover: Solid with light shelf wear, not near bad, has a small delete drill at top left corner, light aging, sticker stain at top right, ink line at top right ...these things are relatively minor but keep from a mint rating. Grade VG+ having no split seams, no bends, no writing
The vinyl: looks very smooth and clear over both sides, visually "EX" (excellent) and is of low-grade quality per the usual ESP '60s pressings. Both labels are clean despite small round sticker on one side of label
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
