Le disque du free jazz - Monoceros by Evan Parker

I believe this is the best recording of soprano saxophone that Evan Parker has ever done. Genial and uncompromising experimenter, i think that Parker has not yet found an heir to this work and its performance today is not more upsetting as during periods of release of this disc. The first time i listened this record first word that i thought was WOW. Pure improvisation in shocking immediacy !! 
It was recorded (in 1978) directly to disk using the direct-cut technique. In fact, the quality of recording is very good and you can listen to every smallest resonance that is emitted by the Parker instrument in the recording room.
If you like this 'kind of music' try to listen with headphones in the evening you will not regret.
Truly Amazing !
