Warner, Henry P. / Earl Freeman / Philip Spigner

Freestyle Band

Label: NoBusiness Country: Lithuania

"The Freestyle Band never courted fame, but they never welcomed obscurity either. The choices they made to follow their individual muses and to independently document their efforts were conscious ones. The musicians made this music in the faith - perhaps certainty is a better word - that its power and integrity would ultimately triumph over shortsighted commercial pressures and America's racist attitudes toward black artists. Perhaps this reissue does a little bit to validate that faith."-Ed Hazell
