Compost (also titled Take Off Your Body) is the eponymous debut album from Compost who were an American jazz fusion band that released two albums for Columbia Records.

Its members were Bob Moses, Harold Vick, Jumma Santos, Jack Gregg and Jack DeJohnette. The band was formed in 1971 as a cooperative, with the members splitting the proceeds of a contract DeJohnette negotiated with Columbia Records to make four records. De Johnette recalled in a 2011 interview that the name suited the band's makeup as "a potpourri of mixes of things: Jazz, rock, some soul and some free-form things", which resulted in "good compost music".

After recording their first album, Take off Your Body, they performed as a group in New York several times, notably as the opening band for Yes on February 19, 1972 at the Academy of Music.. - Wikipedia

Ended yesterday and started today with Open Sky a group led by David Liebman with their eponymous LP from 1973.

Liebman wrote:

"This group represents the first organized music I took an active part in with my long time associate, drummer Bob Moses and bassist Frank Tusa...The “Open Sky” recording was a live concert at the public radio station ,WBAI in New York City."

Eugene Chadbourne wrote in The Calgary Herald
"Open Sky is itself a skyward growth. Start side one and enter another dimension with the beckoning notes of Liebman's flute...

...The drum solo seems almost like the intense fast-paced scurrying flight of birds across the drums...

...Liebman and his trio have a free-flowing feel much like... well, an open sky. And Liebman constantly steps out of the blue to play intoxicating flute, soprano, and tenor sax."
