Low Class Conspiracy

Low Class Conspiracy is the debut album by David Murray, released on the Adelphi label in 1976.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "At 21, Murray already had remarkable technique and these explorations with bassist Fred Hopkins and drummer Phillip Wilson are quite adventurous... None of the compositions themselves are that memorable and some listeners may find Murray's screams and screeches (which he would modify a bit in later years) to be a bit too emotional, but this was a strong first effort."
