Milford Graves – Bäbi – LP

Originally released in 1977, “Bäbi” remains one of Milford Graves‘ most seminal recordings. The music played by the trio was ecstatic. Extreme energy music, buoyant and joyful. It relied on Graves‘ new way of approaching the drum kit, in which he had opened up the bottoms of his skin-slackened toms and eliminated the snare. Graves‘ art was always unblemished by commercial interests, and this album is its finest mission statement.
