The mid 1970's phase of the Jarrett US Quartet traded in their steel drums (Thank God!) for log drums. What a much nicer tone. The group created many interesting "tribal" type explorations, and I love the song "Flame," which features Jarrett on his Native American flute, Dewey on the musette, Paul Motian and Guilherme Franco presumably on log drums, and Charlie Haden doing his drone/rubber band noises on his bass. This is a superb jam, with a catchy over and under melody reminiscent of the opening bassoon melody in the Right of Spring by Stravinsky.
