Stumbled upon this gem quite by chance while browsing George Russell's discography on Discogs. Every track is fantastic, but I can't get enough of "Rabadler"—it's the epitome of punky free-jazz-rock. Terje Rypdal's guitar work is simply phenomenal. It's only now, as I'm writing this, that I realize it was recorded way back in 1969, which makes it even more astonishing. I haven't been this thrilled about a random discovery since I found Steve Marcus' Count's Rock Band or Herbie Mann's collaborations with Sonny Sharrock. Naturally, I'm eager for more from these musicians. Unfortunately, there are no further releases under the Esoteric Circle, but the same lineup recorded a couple of albums as the Jan Garbarek Quartet. This album was later reissued, as jazz albums often are, under Jan Garbarek's name. "Karin's Mode" had actually been right under my nose all along on the Jazz Satellites compilation, but it was credited to Jan Garbarek.
