La sua pubblicazione era annunciata e già prevista ufficialmente tra un mese, ora diventa ancor più urgente e necessaria: è la registrazione inedita del concerto che Larry Stabbins, Keith Tippett e Louis Moholo-Moholo tennero a Foggia al Conservatorio di Musica 'Umberto Giordano' il 23 novembre 1985, a tre anni esatti dalle esplosive sessioni del 1982 al Total Music Meeting di Berlino documentate in Tern. L'iniziativa è della Ogun: Live in Foggia.

It's sad to know that Louis won't be around to see the release of this CD. But it acts as a tribute to the master drummer and is a powerful record of his ability, sensitivity and listening in a context that constantly throws up new posers for all three. The album will be released on July 25th, but you can pre-order now. Recorded in Italy in 1985, this is a valuable record of a unique trio playing at the very top of their game. Larry Stabbins, after years of playing with many of the greatest improvising musicians of the 60s and 70s (John Stevens, Chris McGregor, Keith Tippett, Mike Westbrook, Tony Oxley etc) had recently exploded onto the pop world with the bands Weekend and Working Week and was quite famous in Italy. Not to be outdone, Louis Moholo-Moholo turned up to this gig in full ‘warpaint’ and all three play like the clappers. Both Louis and Keith are in their prime here, and the level of playing by all three is off the scale.
