Fantastic free jazz from Czechoslovakia. Live recording I believe. |
That’s probably this from my exchange with Frown on your top 50 jazz records

If after looking at it that doesn’t ring a bell that kind of blows my mind. Not in an insulting way or anything but when I was in college there was a huge mystique about these guys that were literally risking their lives to play free jazz in the Soviet Union. The recordings listed on the Wikipedia page were bootlegged into CDs and cassettes with so many misleading titles and ****. I sent paychecks to Leo Records once I saw their catalog.
Much later I had terse email exchange with Leo Feigin himself (I think) about how bull**** it was the records were so expensive. I was super respectful of what he did bringing so much great music to the world but still. Some of those big mail orders from Leo Records were the last big additions to my physical music collection.

However, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t really recorded in Czechoslovakia
