Compost ‎– Life Is Round (1973, LP, Usa)

This album was released in 1973 on Columbia Records, this all-star band consists of Bob Moses, Harold Vick, Jumma Santos, Jack Gregg and Jack De Johnette, plus friends Roland Prince, Ed Finney, Jeanne Lee and Lou Courntey. The Compost ensemble was formed, to quote Jack DeJohnette, as a co-operative band comprised of a group of people who are all versatile and whose egos are directed into positive channels, thereby overcoming the old leadership-versus-sidemen problem. This mission produced only three albums. While the self-titled debut never achieves much of a trajectory, some of the grooves on Life Is Round are nicely refracted esp. the Harold Vick cuts, “Seventh Period” and “The Ripper”. Lou Courtney even makes an appearance, adding vocals to a tidy song about outer space. (search: web)
