Muse Records MR 5146

Produced by Frederick Seibert
……
For about a decade (1968-78) the avant-garde in jazz sparked a fashion solo recordings, particularly with not so obvious solo intstruments like saxophones. Wanna be that I was, I loved it, and thought it would be cool for Willis to try it on our second session together. He thought I was crazy, but figured if I was willing to take his warm up and do the work to edit it into something reasonable he’d get off the session a little early and still get paid. –Fred Seibert
