This originally appeared on vinyl in the early 1970s under Paul Bley’s name. I could be wrong but I think he had the tapes and might have got the gig too, although it would seem that the band was leaderless as announced. From that point of view, re-titling it as a Coleman album is probably as accurate as any other nomination.
