Recently subject to a fascinating documentary film, they say Milford Grave's drumkit was homemade & that he rarely ever ventured outside of his NY Queens neighbourhood to perform. Here is a man that believed his instrument - the drums - was capable of far, far more than just timekeeping. Pullen performs a similarly percussive approach to the piano & the results are not for the faint of heart. This is the polar opposite of your cosey Prestige or laidback Blue Note date, Nommo is a rare documentation of Milford Grave's work & is about as raw & unhinged as it gets, a volcanic Freeform firestorm that ended up on Thurston Moore's 'Top Ten Free Jazz Underground ' list for good reason. Dare you take up the challenge of Milford & Don's art?
Condition :-
Coming from a one owner collection from the UK that was packed with exotic imports & underground LPs of the sixties & seventies, mostly all concerning Freeform music of some kind, this example was bought new at the time & has been kept in exceptionally nice condition ever since.
The pasted card picture sleeve grades VG+ with no deletion cuts or writing. There is some scuffing to the edges & one or two of the corners have a faint crease. The panels remain nice & clean. There is the beginnings of paper splitting in the top left corner & a half inch split to the bottom right corner [also signs of one of the top edges starting to weaken causing a small hairline fracture], so often found with American sleeves of this vintage. Nonetheless, a lovely original example.
The vinyl is Excellent to Near Mint. There are very few signs of play at all with this record & is therefore highly recommended. But only for the headstrong!
