i wouldn't call it "free form". There's a strict chord progression throughout and a composed melody played by the guitar and sax on the second chorus and repeated at the end. Pretty traditional form. The Mahavishnu Orchestra recorded this at breakneck speed under another name.

Yes, @maglev375 an absolutely cracking album; was really foreign texture to me listening to this about 8 years ago!
Still love it much...

interesting like it

This is almost the same as Mahavishnu Orchestra's Celestial Terrestrial Commuters, check it out sometime! CTC is played about 4 times as fast as this earlier version. I love this album so much.
-
this was recorded & released in the UK in '69, i suspect before the "bitches' brew" sessions in NYC.

Great early free form jazz romp by John and Co.! Very raw and primal, first heard this in the early 70's ... it has weathered the years well... I like this kind of quartet in jazz as it allows for alot of space to improvise.

excuse me for my english (i'm a froggy) but i bought this album when I was 16/17 too and I still think that it's the best of JML

my understanding is, he recorded this before heading to NY and being 'discovered' by Miles Davis. There's an absolute integrity to J McL's early stuff, he has the technique and chops of a champion but it's only there to serve the music, there's no display of virtuosity for its own sake. And on 'Extrapolation' there's total generosity to the other players, they're all allowed to shine. Cracking album.
