Black Unity Trio - Al-Fatihah - LP

Reissue, Remastered

Al-Fatihah is quite possibly the first-ever independently released free-jazz record. Originating in Oberlin, Ohio and ultimately becoming a trio of Abdul Wadud, Yusuf Mumin and Hasan Al Hut, the Black Unity Trio recorded the album in December 1968 and released it in 1969 in an edition of just 500 copies. Long legendary among collectors, producers and DJs, and sampled many times over the decades, it is presented here remastered.
