Volcano Radar featuring Paquito D’Rivera
Paquito Libre
Delmark DE 5028
“Paquito D’Rivera is both as free and as embedded as can be with Volcano Radar, the explosive, expansive, radiant electro-acoustic ensemble, co-led by multi-instrumentalist Elbio Barilari and guitarist/synthesist Julia A. Miller. Keyboardist Darwin Noguera, bassist Rollo Radford and drummer Ernie Adams collaborate in the creation of vivid and mysteriously improvised soundscapes,” says jazz critic Howard Mandel. Volcano Radar’s soundscapes have been described as: noise-funk, post-jazz, avant-rock, experimental improvisation, jazz-electronica and neo-psychedelia. On their Delmark debut Volcano Radar and Paquito D’Rivera, as you never heard him before, surf together through uncharted waters.

In a Rolling Stone review of the CD re-issue Bob Blumenthal wrote: “Mitchell, the AACM’s greatest player and composer, is in brilliant form, as are his Art Ensemble of Chicago colleagues Lester Bowie and Malachi Favors and the others. A new chapter in what Chicagoans like to call “Great Black Music”. Sound received a five-star rating in Down Beat’s June 15, 1967 edition. This edition of Sound will feature the original Stu Black mix, previously unissued on CD.
