• “In Search of the Mystery” is Gato Barbieri’s forceful, uncompromising, debut album as leader, and was recorded for ESP on March 15, 1967, with Gato Barbieri: tenor saxophone; Calo Scott: cello; Norris Jones (Sirone): bass; and Bobby Kapp: drums.

• Barbieri’s earlier recordings (apart from a private pressing in 1960) were with Don Cherry’s band on “Togetherness” (Inner City 1965), “Complete Communion” (1965) and “Symphony for Improvisers”(1966) both on Blue Note.

• Four extended compositions by Barbieri, played with powerful creativity by the quartet in a style where strident, free improvisation meets a more impressionistic, hard bop. Barbieri himself plays with a possessed energy, reminiscent of Coltrane, Shepp or Pharoah Sanders at their most unrestrained.
