Bird Food [CD]

Recorded live at Radio Studio Zurich on February 19, 1968, Bird Food is the earliest known documentation of the Pierre Favre Trio - rediscovered in the drummer's personal archive after more than half a century - a recording found after 57 years. In 1968, Swiss drummer Pierre Favre was forming what would become one of the pioneering ensembles of European free jazz. Recorded live at Radio Studio Zurich on February 19, 1968, Bird Food predates Santana - previously considered the trio's debut album - by nearly seven months, making it the earliest known document of this historic formation.
