This CD includes tracks performed by various groups that were first included on the album USA Concerts" released after my first US tour in 1978 as well as five previously un-issued tracks. The first of these was recorded in 1980 with cellist Tom Corra at Creative Music Studio, Woodstock, the second was in 1985 in Bologna at NoWall, in duo format with alto player Jack Wright from Philadelphia, while the third was recorded at Zoo Place in NY with Toshinori Kondo and Eugene Chadbourne. The fourth and the fifth contains the debut recording of two important musical pairings: The first was in 1978 in Berkeley with piano-player, Gregg Goodman, and the second was in Los Angeles in 1979 with clarinet player, John Carter and saxophonist, Vinnie Golia". - Andrea Centazzo.
