The "Necromancer" label—which reissues rare titles from "by collectors, for collectors" handmade labels (previously available only in extremely limited circulation) using official master recordings—now presents "Headless Hawk," a premier jazz-focused collectors' label. These rare titles are being re-released at an accessible price point, featuring new back-cover artwork and a special reissue emblem.

This release showcases a collaboration between two giants—Chick Corea and John McLaughlin—who, in the 1970s, led the jazz-rock movement with their respective bands, Return to Forever and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The lineup is truly stellar, featuring Kenny Garrett on saxophone, along with a world-class rhythm section: Christian McBride—a highly sought-after bassist—and Vinnie Colaiuta, renowned for his work with Frank Zappa and Sting. While this is an audience recording that includes some crowd noise, the performance itself is captured beautifully, allowing listeners to enjoy a breathtaking, virtuosic live set from an elite group of musicians.
