It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared with the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSunny Murray Quintet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlbert Ayler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt's Not Up To Us\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJef Gilson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMother Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eExactement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFunny Funky Rib Crib\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the first of the four records, was recorded on November 24th, 1973 with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSylvin Marcon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e electric bass and the evergreen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve McCallon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on drums. On the album, the trio works from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Coltrane\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e model; free jazz shook up by the timely contributions of the bassist, followed by a mesmerizing atmospheric music. Then, Lancaster delivers a sinuous solo path, which is a reminder of his unique tone. On the album's companion single, the trio launches into great black music of a different genre which would lead the clairvoyant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrançois Tusques\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to claim that Byard Lancaster is an \"authentic representative of soul\/free jazz.\" This is the first ever stand-alone vinyl reissue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
