This quite rare, yet very interesting LP rip is again a gift from a friend.
Never heard about this LP before - and Ron Pittner was almost unknown to me - except for two recordings with him. One is to be found here >

...the other one is called "Jazz A Maison De Japon, Paris" with the same line-up as the present post.
(more from my friends treasure box will follow)
Maybe it's interesting to know that Angelus Records was a 'catholic' label (I was told) - the same is true for the german label 'Calig' (I know for sure) which issued for example Peter Brötzmann's "Nipples".
...I'm almost tempted to say - Enjoy! for god's sake...what a complex world.

This early japanese Free Jazz LP was originally recorded for a movie by Masao Adachi - "Renzoku Shasatsuma (Ryakusho)".
But it certainly works without the pictures.
