Well-deserved! I love watching dominant pitching, and it’s even better when it’s done by a member of the local team

Really enjoying this reissue of the band that supposedly brought free jazz to Mexico. The piano playing, in particular, resonates with me as a Cecil Taylor fan. Originally released as a cassette with a limited run of 150, it’s good to see the music of these innovators more widely available.
