According to David Mittleman, host of the all vinyl, free format radio show Observations of Deviance on KXCI, Dogon A.D. is an absolute essential for any free jazz lover. "It brilliantly combines the most forward looking avant-garde jazz with gut-bucket funk like no other album before or since." In this vinyl vault, David talks to us about Julius Hemphill's extraordinary band, the various re-releases, and the Dogon creation myth that inspired it all.
