FIRST INTERNATIONAL RELEASE OF THE ICONIC ALBUM BY ABDULLAH IBRAHIM (DOLLAR BRAND), DON CHERRY, AND CARLOS WARD. ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN JAPAN ONLY IN 1974 ON TRIO RECORDS. FEATURING REMASTERED AUDIO, ORIGINAL ARTWORK, AND NEW LINER NOTES BY JACQUES DENIS FOR THE LP/CD.

Wewantsounds is honoured to announce the first-ever international release of the legendary collaboration between Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) and Don Cherry, featuring Carlos Ward. Following Ibrahim’s recent passing, this long-awaited edition is all the more relevant. Recorded live in 1972 at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this highly sought-after album was originally released exclusively in Japan in 1974 on the cult jazz label Trio Records via its revered Nadja imprint. An essential chapter in the musicians’ discographies, the performance skilfully blends jazz with rich South African rhythms and global influences. This definitive reissue features fully remastered audio, the original artwork, and a booklet with new bilingual liner notes (Eng/Fr) by Jacques Denis.
