Title: A chance for an underground classic
Review: This is a chance to pick up one of the most rare George Russell releases. This is a sextet date that features a group that includes students from his legendary Lennox School days. One of the students here, David Baker, ended up being a leading jazz educator himself.Russell's sextet records from the early to mid '60s feature a level of creativity that is almost unmatched to this day in the jazz world. Forget the usual melody-solos-melody routine, all of his work from the era has tightly focused yet intricate compostion that merits and rewards repeated listening. He always finds soloists with unique voices to light up the improvisational sections, as you will find here.So here's a rare chance to pick up some great work from an artist that still has not had anywhere near the recognition he deserves.
