The six extended pieces here (from the meditative unfolding of \"Meditation, Conversation And Love\" to the enigmatic \"Bird Of The Iron Feather\") chart various approaches to free improvisation: some pieces emerge from structured themes, others dissolve into pure dialogue between instruments, all retaining a distinctly European sensibility that contrasts with the American free jazz tradition. These players treat the ensemble as a conversational body rather than a hierarchical vehicle, and the recording—intimate, sometimes raw—lets you hear the real-time negotiation happening across the group. Essential listening for anyone curious about jazz's experimental edges outside New York, and a striking document of Vienna's creative underground in this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:13px 18px;background:#ffffff;color:#121212;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;border:1px solid #121212;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:600;font-family:inherit;user-select:none;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:300;line-height:1;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border:1px solid #121212;border-top:none;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eGenre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eFree Improvisation, Avant-garde Jazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eMedia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eVery Good (VG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eSleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eVery Good (VG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eThe record is more on the VG side. Some discoloration, light surface hairlines, small spots on the vinyl. Some sides look better than others but overall VG condition. Sleeve spine looks bad and when you open you see the inside near the spine is falling off a little but still both sides attached. The front cover looks quite good but can see on the left sside spine looks very much used. Ask for pictures beforehand. Carefully packed and shipped with love from Vienna.
