Description
For sale is a sealed vinyl LP release of the self-titled solo album from The Freestyle Band as self-released Adeyeme Productions Unlimited album of free jazz from 1984.
For more details about the album read on. For those that know of this release it goes without saying this is a treasure, hard to find let alone in this condition, unopened and with hardly any wear to speak of...
The Freestyle Band never courted fame, but they never welcomed obscurity either. The choices they made to follow their individual muses and to independently document their efforts were conscious ones. The musicians made this music in the faith - perhaps certainty is a better word - that its power and integrity would ultimately triumph over shortsighted commercial pressures and America’s racist attitudes toward black artists. Perhaps this reissue does a little bit to validate that faith.
Freestyle Band was comprised of:Earl Freeman: bass guitar, pianoHenry Warner: b-flat clarinet, alto clarinetPhilip Spigner: hand drums
Of the three, Freeman was the best known, having played on several notable late ‘60s-early ‘70s recordings with Noah Howard, Archie Shepp and others. Warner was an early associate of Billy Bang’s, documented by No Business’ retrospective of the violinist’s earliest recordings. Spigner – aka Ade Yeme – worked with Bang early on and made his recording debut on Freeman’s Soundcraft ’75 (Anima).
Released by Adeyeme Productions Unlimited in 1984 and produced by Marie C. Noto.
