The John Carter and Bobby Bradford Quartet/Quintet were critical to the progressive jazz movement around Los Angeles in the late 60s alongside the likes of Horace Tapscott. Both hailed from the Watts area and trumpeter, Bradford played with a woodshedding Ornette Coleman for two years in the early 60s when the legendary free movement leader decided not to record for a while but wanted to hone his trademark sound on the saxophone. Multi-reed player, Carter also worked with Coleman who brought them together to lead their own band. Their first outing on Flying Dutchman was "Flight For Four" as the Carter Bradford Quartet that was released in 1969. This is the second album they recorded where Carter and Bradford were supported by Tom Williamson (bass), Buzz Freeman (drums) and another uncredited bass player on four extended improvisations - 'The Sunday Afternoon Jazz Blues Society', 'The Eye Of The Storm', 'Loneliness' and 'Encounter'. The album has been out of print on vinyl since 1971 and Ace are delighted to release it with audio taken from hi-res digital transfers from the original masters.

Tracks:
1.1 The Sunday Afternoon
1.2 Jazz Blues Society
1.3 The Eye of the Storm
1.4 Loneliness
1.5 Encounter
