"Treatment is of no use to most people in today's prisons. The answer is almost to leave the prisons alone-almost benign neglect," he says. "Then divert massive resources to this society's disadvantaged children, the ones who are going to commit tomorrow's crime...

While these records represent an important step towards American recognition of avant-garde jazz, they also ironically underline America's neglect of the music. All four alubms were recorded in Europe and three of the four have been widely available there for several years. Clearly the music deserves better...
