Музыка и песни Tom Prehn Quartet / Tom Prehn Quartet на LP

Axiom has significant historical importance by being what is quite possibly the first European free jazz record, even if it was not released at the time. Recorded in Copenhagen in October 1963, it should have been Tom Prehn Quartet's debut album for the Sonet label. But by the time the test pressings arrived, a couple of months later, the music already sounded old to them and Sonet subsequently pulled the plug. A few sleeves and labels had been printed but only two complete copies survived, making it one of the rarest jazz albums ever. Axiom is expressive, full frontal free jazz of the highest order, and to think it was created by Danish musicians, most of them barely into their twenties, in 1963, is frankly mind-boggling. On the other hand, Scandinavian audiences, especially in Denmark and Sweden, had already welcomed controversial musicians like Albert Ayler and Cecil Taylor with open arms.. Needless to say, we're very proud to release this album for the first time on vinyl. The original sleeve has been painstakingly recreated by Kim Hiorthoy. Axiom was released on CD by Corbett vs Dempsey in 2015. Record Label: Rune Grammofon Style: Jazz
