Black Artist Group
For Peace And Liberty: In Paris Dec 1972
This is BAG's first album since 1973, 'For Peace And Liberty,' recorded in Paris in Dec. 1972 when the musicians had recently arrived from St Louis. BAG only released one album during their existence, the cult classic 'In Paris, Aries 1973.' This long-lost performance, recorded at Maison de l'ORTF in optimal conditions just a few months previously, was thought lost until recently unearthed from the vaults of INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel). Here the group unleashes an incandescent 35-minute set mixing free improvisation and spiritual jazz with funk grooves. Released in partnership with the band and INA with audio remastered from the original tapes.
