  • Super Limited Edition Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This is one of the first three reissues (Lowell Davidson, Marzette Watts, Free Music Quintet) in a new ESP-Disk’ series of highly limited edition vinyl releases. Designed to allow ESP to make available vinyl versions of cult classics, each record will be released in a limited-edition pressing strictly capped at 30 copies.
    Do not sleep on this offer, as we expect it to sell out quickly. Original vinyl pressings of this album go for much more! Pressing will begin as soon as ten copies have been pre-ordered, so shipping date will be roughly a month later. The listed date is thus only an estimate -- it could be sooner, it could be later. Limit of two per customer.

    Includes unlimited streaming of And Company via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

The Alabama born saxophonist/clarinetist had a short lived career as a member of the sixties avant-garde, but achieved legendary status for the company he kept in his Cooper Square loft where the likes of Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, and Pharoah Sanders often congregated. This debut date is best known for the presence of players, who like Watts, were to become renowned for the rareness of their recorded output, including Sonny Sharrock, Byard Lancaster, Clifford Thornton, Karl Berger and Henry Grimes.

Press Quotes

"This is a powerful artistic statement by a man one wishes had recorded more often...this is a peek into a chapter of American music that is still criminally underappreciated." - Rob Ferrier, AllMusic
