Title: Excellent third stream majors on a classic LP
Review: Don't like term "Third Stream" or even "Cool Jazz" for that matter (though with some folks at certain times like Miles or Mulligan latter term applies).But this is an Lp of guys who went there own way.It's among the classics of the Prestige label in 50's (only better known is Teddy Charles Tentette on Atlantic).Nice relaxed and sophisticated jazz.Shorty Rogers was studio magician (and from my home town Great Barrington Mass born one Milton Rajonsky)and very adaptable from being band leader,film and session ace.Jimmy Giuffre is the one most associated with "third Stream sound.And they have some guy named Mingus on bass.If you like it check out his other collaborations with some of same personnel.I also.I liked Teddy Charles "Vibe Rant".Good if your into vibes for sure.Check out Jazz Foundation Of America in these hard times.Chazz
