This live association between Penderecki, Cherry, and what apparently was the cream of the crop of early 70s European free jazz (among others, Mangelsdorff and Brotzmann) promises way more than it actually delivers. The first (Cherry-composed) track is an absolute bombast of third streamy, big bandy free jazz, while the other half of the record sees the congregation hesitate with what actually to do with the Penderecki composition.
