TRACKLIST A1 P.G. V 16:01 B1 P.G. III 8:30 B2 P.G. IV 7:35 INFO Groundbreaking early work from drummer Milford Graves and pianist Don Pullen  a set of long, free improvisations that were originally issued on Graves' Self-Reliance Productions label! The music is even more striking than sounds from the time on the ESP label  and also really predates some of the freer work of this type from the European scene  as Graves is a monster on the drum kit and a range of percussion, reaching out with this scope of sound and deft command of his hands that's simply breathtaking  matched by energy from Pullen that really surpasses some of his later work too  almost Cecil Taylor-like vibes at points, mixed with other elements that are in a more familiar mode for the pianist.
