Unity, by Byron & Gerald, is a long lost & highly sought-after private press free jazz album recorded in 1969 at howard university. encouraged by his friend Joe McPhee (who contributed an 'invocation' to the back cover), Byron Morris made Unity the very first release on his own EPI label. It is the only hardcore free jazz record out of 1960s DC, & a viscerally powerful musical & cultural dispatch on the aesthetic & sociopolitical upheavals of its time. Eremite's edition exactly reproduces the original EPI release & adds new liner notes by Byron Morris.
