The Giuseppi Logan Quartet

The Giuseppi Logan Quartet is an album by American jazz saxophonist Giuseppi Logan, recorded at Bell Sound Studios in 1964 and released in 1965 on the ESP-Disk label. His first recording as leader, it features Logan on alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, Pakistani oboe, bass clarinet, and flute along with pianist Don Pullen, bassist Eddie Gómez, and drummer Milford Graves. Logan had moved to New York City in September 1964, and the recording took place shortly after the October Revolution in Jazz, at which Logan performed, and during which he met ESP-Disk founder Bernard Stollman. According to Logan, the musicians had not played together prior to the recording session.

Reception
In his AllMusic review, Stewart Mason awarded the album 4.5 stars, calling it "one of the most uncompromisingly 'out' free jazz records of its time" and stating that the album "is definitely only for the free jazz faithful, but it's a solid, often fascinating set." In an article for the New York Times, Giovanni Russonello wrote that on the album, "harmony, rhythm and melody became agents of texture and suspense: Whether Mr. Logan is playing in apoplectic fits or in a long atonal smear, the radical open-endedness of each moment is palpable." Elliott Sharp included the album in his list "Ten Free Jazz Albums to Hear Before You Die". ==Track listing==
