A reissue of "Self Determination Music," the second album from two major figures whose sound was innovative yet deeply rooted in jazz history. A gem that fuses avant-garde music, free jazz and traditional black music, capturing the essence of their artistic vision. Improvisation ranging from bright pieces to introspective ones. This one in particular deserves to be heard with the warmth of analog sound — let yourself sink completely into the nostalgic world they created. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
