On Eastern Rebellion (Vol.1) you’ll find four band-penned originals and an excellent John Coltrane cover-tune. The album was produced by Cedar Walton and Wim Wigt and is a remarkable outing of advanced musicianship by four jazz giants in their prime, delivering a gem containing five inspired and straight-ahead tracks. Three more volumes (depicting the same front-cover artwork) of the Eastern Rebellion jazz collective would follow between 1976 and 1984, and later another four on different labels (between 1992 and 1994). Some of those (at different times) would also feature other remarkable jazz players, but all albums included the winning Walton-Higgins combination. Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the 45th-anniversary vinyl reissue of this historical and collectible album. Originally released in 1976, and out of print on vinyl since its last pressing back in 1985, these classic recordings are now finally back available as a limited 180g vinyl edition (500 copies) complete with the iconic original artwork & photography by Martin Bough.
