GROUP ONGAKU (1960/61) HEAR sound art library
Here's something which is more related to experimental or contemporary classics than to Free Jazz/Improvisation. But it is improvised as well...
Takehisa Kosugi was later co-founding the "Taj Mahal Travellers" and since 1978 he served as the musical director of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company..
He, Yasunao Tone and Chieko Shiomi were also associated with the Fluxus movement.
