Notes:

Quite nice 1966 original pressing of this extremely rare privately issued free jazz LP. Very few pressed and each copy features an unique totally hand painted cover.

The pictures (about 100 pieces), handpainted by Milford Graves.

“Hey, man, I started something, Look, I did what I did.”

(Milford Graves)
