“

The Brotherhood of Breath was a big-band created by Chris McGregor at the end of the 1960s, essentially an extension of McGregor's previous band The Blue Notes. This group included many members of the South African expatriate community resident in London, including McGregor himself, Louis Moholo, Harry Miller, Mongezi Feza, Dudu Pukwana, (occasionally) Johnny Dyani and many of the free jazz musicians who were based in London at the same time. [...] The personnel was interchangeable, depending on who was available. The music resembles a mixture of Charles Mingus and Sun Ra, but retains a unique feel due to the South African influences and the intelligent arrangements.

The Recording:
Lineage: FM > ? > CDR > EAC > WAV > FLAC
Sound: A-/B+
The sound's fair on the first three, but a bit grimy on the last, though.

This recording surfaced originally on dime. Unfortunately I can't trace the post any longer so I'm unable to give due credit to the original seeder. There has been a lot of discussion on the location, the line-up, and the names of the tunes. Thanks to the valuable contributions from ubu roi, Udo and the people at inconstant sol, I believe that the information presented here is as complete and accurate as we're likely to get.
