Another record from the bunch that my pal needed transfered. Such a great record. Wiki says very little about this fellow that I didn't already know. An experimental pianist with ties to AACM. This record from 1978 leaves me stunned.

AD is a really underrated musican and composer. I heard him in some concerts - mostly solo and duo with James Newton at the beginning of the 80's in Germany and Italy. Check out other fine recordings.

Wasn't sure I knew this guy but I believe I've heard him on a couple other records. Great to hear him on his own date here and as I'm listening to this first hauntingly lovely piece, I'm glad for the education! Thanks again.
I have always enjoyed his music and like everyone else has stated he is very under rated.I can't wait to hear this recording,what a band he has backing him,saw the cello player along with Davis in a concert in NYC back in the 80's.Thank you very much for sharing this one !
I've got a CD reissue now, wil post it in FLAC on ROAL soon...
peace, E-mile
