OUT LOUD is the 1974 snapshot of Frank Lowe that got lost in the haze, now reconstructed and finally audible…four decades later.
This hand-numbered, 2-LP set enshrines newly discovered music from the short-lived and hitherto invisible 1974 quartet of Lowe, Joseph Bowie, William Parker, and Steve Reid. The band is captured in an unpublished record session at Rashied Ali’s Survival Studios and in performance at Studio Rivbea, OUT LOUD presents every known recording from this fiery band. None of these sounds have ever been heard beyond the circle of Lowe’s closest associates. Journalists and even the most rabid collectors will be surprised to learn of the existence of this formation. Frank Lowe Quartet—OUT LOUD

All audio has been carefully transferred and optimized by Ben Young and Joe Lizzi, the mastering team that was Grammy™-nominated for Triple Point’s celebrated New York Art Quartet—call it art collection last year, and for Albert Ayler—Holy Ghost in 2006. Triple Point’s top-flight manufacturing standards have led us to audiophile-level
vinyl from Quality Record Pressings. OUT LOUD’s high-quality brochure was printed at Meridian—it's all packaged in an old-school, tip-on gatefold jacket form Dorado.
