esp4028 Frank Wright, "Unity" Personnel: "Wright's sound developed through the years, but always maintained the spirit and fire that first came through his horn in the early days. Whether he was performing with Lester Bowie's Sho' Nuff Orchestra, Rashied Ali's Funky Free Boppers, Cecil Taylor's Orchestra of Two Continents or Saheb Sarbib's Multinational Big Band, he always played with an uncompromising passion that was the signature of his sound. 'I was put on this planet by the Creator to proclaim the message of the Universal Spirit - to shout it to the people,' Wright said before he died prematurely in 1990, two months shy of his 55th birthday. On June 1, 1974 he did just that, and the resounding ovation the audience gives at the end of the concert, is proof positive that the people had indeed heard him. Now others may also share the moving experience of that day."-Russ Musto, 2006 Recorded June 1, 1974, Moers Festival.Track Listing: 1. Unity Part I - 27:28 2. Unity Part II - 29:00
