John Benson Brooks Trio
Avant Slant (One Plus 1 = II)
Album US 1968 on Decca label
Jazz and Pop (Free Jazz, Novelty, Cool Jazz)
"AVANT SLANT is a collage-in-sound, in which fragments of poetry, pop tunes, radio broadcasts, and Feiffer-like babble intermingle to form an aural history of "Right Now." It is also a twelve-tone: jazz concert, an electronic poem composed in several media, and the first example of what may be a radically new art form." This version: - white labels with black lettering stating 'Promotion copy not for sale' - the top rim of the labels reads 'stereophonic' and not 'Long Play' as on Avant Slant (One Plus 1 = II) On the labels, the tracklist is slightly condensed.
