"Ray Russel is not an unknown borderline gunslinger to most readers of these mumbo jumbo pages. Apart from appearing on some earth shattering recordings by Bill Fay, he also carved out a ear-shattering recording career as a free jazz sonic terrorist. “Dragon Hill” was released by CBS in 1969 and sees Russell teaming up with Roy Fry (piano), Ron Mathewson (bass), Alan Rushton (drums), Harry Beckett (trumpet & Fluegel Horn), Bud Parkes (trumpet), Lyn Dobson (Tenor Sax) and Donald Beichtol (Trombone). One of cornerstones of British free jazz extravaganza with Russell at helm, ripping through chords and bending the strings in mercurial ways while bolstering out tidal accumulations of high energy. The other members provide a spontaneous rhythmic framework that gets exploited in return by Russell who deals in approaching direct free rock as well as in acidic free jazzing moves. In short relentless jackhammer stuff of extended blowout jams that have enough lyrical economy and unrepentant force to take you through corrosive blasts of sound and alchemical magic to keep you puzzled for weeks in a row. Stuff of legends. Highest possible recommendation and dead cheap.
Quoted from the Tiliqua website, where a mono pressing of this record is offered at 120 Euros ("dead cheap"... :-)
On auction here is the stereo version.
