The original ESP-Disk' recording, digitally re-mastered with bonus interviews featuring Burton Greene. Includes Burton Greene on piano, piano harp, and percussion as well as Marion Brown on alto saxophone, Henry Grimes on bass, Dave Grant and Tom Price on percussion, and Frank Smith on tenor sax.
Although some free jazz was released by major labels in the '60s (Ornette Coleman recorded for Atlantic, for example), most of the artists who contributed to free jazz during that decade recorded for small independent labels such as Impulse! and Delmark. Another indie that was willing to put out free jazz during the '60s was ESP, which documented Burton Greene on the vinyl LPs Burton Greene Quartet (a 1965 recording) and Concert Tour (a live recording released in 1966). In 2007, ESP reissued Burton Greene Quartet on CD as Bloom in the Commune and added a lot of interviews with Greene as bonus tracks. All four of the 1965 performances that appeared on the original Burton Greene Quartet LP -- the 12-minute "Cluster Quartet," the ten-minute "Ballade II," the eight-minute "Bloom in the Commune," and the 13-minute "Taking It Out of the Ground" -- were digitally remastered for this 63-minute CD, which finds pianist Greene joined by alto saxophonist Marion Brown, tenor saxophonist Frank Smith, bassist Henry Grimes, and percussionists Dave Grant and Tom Price. And those performances favor free jazz that isn't the least bit shy about being free -- performances that are chaotic, spirited, passionate, emotional, and totally uncompromising. The interview material, meanwhile, gives Greene a chance to reflect on not only his 1965 session for ESP, but also the '60s in general and how free jazz was characteristic of that decade's spirit of upheaval. Unfortunately, ESP doesn't list the exact recording date of the 1965 session, but even so, this is a CD that people who are seriously into '60s avant-garde jazz will want to hear. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Burton Greene figured prominently in New York's free jazz movement of the '60s, performing with such major figures as Marion Brown, Sam Rivers, Gato Barbieri, and Alan Silva. As a child, Greene studied classical music at the Fine Arts Academy in Chicago; from 1956-1958 he studied jazz with Dick Marx. Greene moved to New York in the early '60s, as the city's free jazz movement was gathering momentum. There, he formed the Free Form Improvisation Ensemble with Silva in 1963 -- reputedly one of the first groups devoted to playing a wholly improvised music. In 1964, he joined the Jazz Composer's Guild. During the mid-'60s, he recorded for the ESP-Disk label as a leader, before moving to the Netherlands in 1969. Greene became something of a journeyman, performing all over Europe while maintaining a residence on a houseboat in Amsterdam. He recorded intermittently in the '70s and '80s. Greene became one of the few free jazz musicians to experiment with synthesizers. He's played solo and led various bands of unusual instrumentation; a recent project is a klezmer group called Klez-Jazz, which features clarinetist Perry Robinson. During the '90s, Greene recorded more frequently in the U.S., notably for the Cadence Jazz and C.I.M.P. labels. Greene's autobiography is entitled -Memoirs of a Musical "Pesty Mystic" -- or -- From the Ashcan to the Ashram and Back Again, published by Cadence Jazz Books.
