From the album Ketchaoua by Clifford Thornton , recorded August 18, 1969 in Paris , France. Released on BYG records in 1969.
Clifford Thornton’s only Actuel date as a leader is, like many of the others in this BYG series, an all-star blowing session highly indicative of the times. For some, it will be difficult to tell whether taking credit for composing these pieces is a lost cause. This is some very free music and, save for a handful of scored passages, almost wholly improvised. [source]
