The Necromancer label—which reissues rare titles from "collector-for-collector" handmade labels (previously available only in extremely limited circulation) using official master recordings—now presents "Headless Hawk," one of the premier collector labels for jazz. These rare titles are being re-released with new reissue branding and updated back-cover artwork, all at an accessible price point. This release is aimed at a very niche audience—fans of free jazz, contemporary music, or the avant-garde. Yet, there is always a dedicated following for this kind of material. It is only fitting that Headless Hawk—a label that truly values such fans—should bring us this release from Globe Unity. It features a live performance by the large-scale free jazz ensemble led by the brilliant and eccentric German musician Alexander von Schlippenbach. The recording is sourced from a radio broadcast master, ensuring high sound quality. Notably, the lineup includes Jaki Liebezeit, a key figure from the legendary German rock band Can.
