Lowell Davidson Trio [6/11] *

Lowell Davidson Trio: Lowell Davidson (piano); Gary Peacock (bass); Milford Graves (percussion).
Recorded on July 27, 1965.
This 1965 free-jazz date is definitely "outside," and will certainly appeal to archivists and students of the style's development. Pianist Lowell Davidson exhibits a loose, mercurial approach that will keep listeners guessing, yet the ensemble work--which features outstanding playing from drummer Milford Graves and bassist Gary Peacock--is remarkably cohesive and compelling. ESP released the date on CD in 2008, making this obscure gem available to a new generation.
