Black Ark recorded in 1969 and released in 1973 by Freedom Records, is one of the monumental second generation free jazz recordings, and sadly a very difficult LP to get hold of until NOW.

It's "a perfect combination of Noah's soulful compositions and playing, infused with plenty of sweet/sour/in/out forms and shapes from the incredible line-up assembled for this release. Plus we get to experience Arthur Doyle's outrageous debut on a recording session, increasing the playing and feeling to an intense level throughout." (Oren Ambarchi 2007)
