ESP 1005
The Byron Allen Trio
As part of ESP-Disk's celebration of the 50th anniversary of our founding in 1963, we are reissuing items from our extensive catalog of avant-garde jazz, and underground/outsider rock and folk, etc. that have never been officially issued in the U.S. on CD.
Some of these will be regular unlimited releases, but some more esoteric specialist items will come out in a new limited-edition series we've dubbed rESPlica. Each one will reproduce the LP artwork (with two minor changes: our former addresses will be deleted to avoid confusion, and a UPC code will be added (we regret the latter, but it does help us to keep the cost of these beautiful near-replicas at the same price as a regular issue). The new remasters of these albums have been done specifically for ESP-Disk's 50th anniversary by archivist Michael D. Anderson from the original tapes.
Only a thousand copies of each rESPlica album will be available, so to enable our fans to secure their copies, we will take preorders for each one on our website. Everyone buying via preorder will immediately receive a digital download of the new remaster at no additional charge.

Byron Allen Trio was among the first batch of ESP-Disk's jazz LPs. Recorded on the afternoon of September 25, 1964 at Mirasound Studio in midtown Manhattan, it was Allen's debut. He had been recommended to ESP-Disk' by Ornette Coleman, and one of the tracks, "Decision for the Cole-Man," reflects this connection. Allen and his trio also play in a style somewhat similar to that of Coleman's trio of that era with bassist David Izenson and drummer Charles Moffett, though that's not to say that Allen, bassist Maceo Gilchrist, and drummer Ted Robinson don't display a sound of their own on the four tracks here. In the years since, though Allen made only one other album (and that 15 years later), this LP acquired legendary stature among jazz fanatics.
