This is a powerful performance during the London Jazz Festival from this legendary group, despite
the absence of Joseph Jarman, joined for the last 2 numbers by the 'Sun Percussion Summit', with
whom Don Moye also did a 2nd unrecorded set.
The set list is a little uncertain, one source indentifying tracks 2-6 all as Don Moye's Focus,
but track 6 is definitely Magg Zelma (one of my favourites) and tracks 3-5 are recognisable other
AECO tunes, so if any AECO expert can help, then please let us know.
Transfer is very high quality, with all their 'little percussives' beautifully reproduced, and
generally as good as you can get for the cassette medium
Set list:
=======================
1.Intro 00:26
2.Focus 14:37
3 ? 04:00
4 ? 06:06
