This 1965 release was saxophonist Marion Brown's debut recording as a leader. There are three tracks here, two of which go on for some time. As was the case with most of ESP's releases from the period, this is a free jazz blowing date. There are two bassists on the program, Ronnie Boykins and Reggie Johnson, along with John Coltrane's future drummer Rashied Ali, and Brown playing with either trumpeter Alan Shorter or saxophonist Bennie Maupin.
While the music here feels, and for the most part is entirely improvised for maximum visceral effect, Brown already has his tone and style and is a clear standout. His unique phrasing and attack shows his tenderness, even in the angriest of these exchanges. He holds his own with the rhythm section and is at times lyrical and spacious, particularly in the middle sections of "Capricorn Moon" and "27 Cooper Square." While this is not his best recording, it is memorable as an early showcase for Brown's fully developed voice, and for Boykins' and Ali's fiery playing.
Alto saxophonist Marion Brown, a key member of the avant-garde jazz scene, first arrived in New York in 1965 where he landed his first session playing on John Coltrane's historic Ascension album. By the end of that same year Brown had already recorded this self-titled debut as front man on ESP-Disk, featuring Alan Shorter on trumpet and Ronnie Boykins on bass. His follow up album for ESP (Why Not?) came the following year, along with his critically acclaimed Three For Shepp on Impulse! (a response to Shepp's Four For Trane), which featured one side of his own compositions and one side of Shepp material. Brown is one of the most talented (if lesser known) players of the '60s jazz avant-garde and this historical release secures his place as one of the major voices in jazz.
