• Black Artist Group - For Peace And Liberty, In Paris dec 1972 - Limited Edition Black LP with 20 page booklet

  Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

  • 
  INCREDIBLE LONG-LOST PERFORMANCE BY THE MYTHICAL BLACK ARTIST GROUP RECORDED LIVE IN PARIS, 1972. THESE RECORDINGS ARE BAG'S FIRST OFFICIAL RELEASE IN 50 YEARS AND ONLY THEIR SECOND ALBUM - ISSUED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE GROUP AND INA. LIMITED LP EDITION WITH 20 PAGE BOOKLET. REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL TAPES.
  
  Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the release of BAG's first album since 1973, "For Peace and Liberty", recorded in Paris in Dec. 1972 when the musicians had recently arrived from St Louis. BAG only released one album during their existence, the cult classic "In Paris, Aries 1973". This long-lost performance, recorded at Maison de l'ORTF in optimal conditions just a few months previously, was thought lost until recently unearthed from the vaults of INA (Institut National de l’Audiovisuel). Here the group unleashes an incandescent 35-minute set mixing free improvisation and spiritual jazz with funk grooves. Released in partnership with the band and INA, the album features sound remastered from the original tapes, plus a 20-page booklet featuring words by Oliver Lake, Joseph Bowie, Baikida Carroll and Bobo Shaw's and Floyd LeFlore's daughters as well as extensive liner notes by BAG scholar Benjamin Looker and previously unseen photos by cult French photographer Philippe Gras.
