Black Artist Group - For Peace And Liberty - In Paris, D

Facts Vinyl LP pressing. Incredible long-lost performance by the mythical Black Artist Group recorded live in Paris, 1972. These recordings are BAG's first official release in 50 years and only their second album - issued in collaboration with the group and INA. Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the release of BAG's first album since 1973, "For Peace and Liberty", recorded in Paris in Dec. 1972 when the musicians had recently arrived from St Louis. BAG only released one album during their existence, the cult classic "In Paris, Aries 1973". This long-lost performance, recorded at Maison de l'ORTF in optimal conditions just a few months previously, was thought lost until recently unearthed from the vaults of INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel). Here the group unleashes an incandescent 35-minute set mixing free improvisation and spiritual jazz with funk grooves. Released in partnership with the band and INA with audio remastered from the original tapes.
