The Necromancer label—which specializes in reissuing rare titles from small, collector-run, handmade labels using official master recordings—now presents "Headless Hawk," one of the premier labels for jazz collectors. These rare titles are being re-released at an accessible price point, featuring new back-cover artwork and a special reissue emblem.

This group is fronted by the duo of Lester Bowie and Roscoe Mitchell. Among musicians associated with the ECM sphere, they possess a particularly strong "black feeling." Each of the two discs contains a single, expansive piece of spiritual improvisation; while this style may naturally divide listeners, those who lean toward the "like" side will certainly not be disappointed. Although sourced from an audience recording, the audio quality is excellent and remarkably free of noise.
