Horizon was a great label until, as the story goes, Quincy Jones heard the Revolutionary Ensemble record, took it to Herb Albert and asked him why he was putting money into THIS shit, after which, things got weird..

And then 15 years later, Quincy lets Sonny Simmons record that great album on Qwest.  Penance?

John Snyder then purchased a clockwork and put the Revolutionary Ensemble  disc on the face, took it to Jerry Moss and said maybe we can sell them as clocks. He was shown the door.

Ancient Ritual is an all-time great record.

BTW, as great as Sonny Simmons’ Ancient Ritual is — I think I’ve seen maybe 8-10 cd copies out in the wild over the years, and I think 100% of them had promo stamps on the cover and/or the disc. Seriously!

What’s up with that?? :huh:
