New York Art Quartet is the debut album by the group of the same name. It was recorded on November 26, 1964, at Bell Sound Studios in New York City, and was released in 1965 by ESP-Disk as the fourth item in their catalog, following Albert Ayler's Spiritual Unity and Pharoah Sanders's Pharoah's First. It features John Tchicai on alto saxophone, Roswell Rudd on trombone, Lewis Worrell on bass, and Milford Graves on percussion.[1][2] In addition, LeRoi Jones recites his controversial poem "Black Dada Nihilismus" on one track.[3]
The album was recorded roughly two months after the group, calling itself "The John Tchicai Quartet," participated in the "October Revolution in Jazz" festival organized by Bill Dixon,[4] and roughly one month before they played in the "Four Days in December" festival, where, calling themselves the "Roswell Rudd - John Tchicai Quartet," they shared a bill with Sun Ra.[5]
