2021 restock. 2013 release. Five LPs of entirely uncirculated music by the New York Art Quartet, featuring Roswell Rudd, John Tchicai, and Milford Graves; the bass chair is alternatively occupied by Lewis Worrell, Don Moore, Bob Cunningham, Eddie Gomez, and Reggie Workman. The set features appearances from Amiri Baraka, Alan Shorter, and J.C. Moses. A decade of research has informed Call It Art; the set more than doubles the recorded output of the band. The included 156-page clothbound book features dozens of rare photos, music manuscripts, and notes from the musicians' archives, the history of the NYAQ, bios, analysis, and more. Call It Art was nominated for 2014 Grammy® awards in "Best Historical Album" and "Best Album Notes" categories. Includes 156-page clothbound book, extravagantly packaged in a custom white-birch wood box. Edition of 665 (hand-numbered).

“Roswell Rudd assembled the newly formed New York Quartet for an afternoon recording session at Bell Sound Studios in midtown Manhattan. They were joined by a small, youthful appearing individual, the poet Amiri Baraka. Their engineer was the late Art Crist, an accomplished pianist. I was introduced to Lewis Worrell, Amiri Baraka and John Tchicai. The group was short lived. I heard them again 40 years later, when they reassembled for a concert at the South Street Seaport in New York City, opening for Sonic Youth at the invitation of Thurston Moore. Lewis Worrell, who had vanished from the scene, was replaced on bass by Reggie Workman.”-- Bernard Stollman
