Posted 17 Dec 2021 Must have been the consequence of one of Francis Wolff’s European Summer holidays and a deal which was made. Rearward also put out an additional LP of material from those sessions, recorded in Koln I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 18 Dec 2021 (edited) Now: I like this record, but I wish it had been mixed differently. It's too treble-y, giving the music a flat aspect. Where's the low-end ooomphh ?!? Earlier: Edited 18 Dec 2021 by HutchFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 18 Dec 2021 Oudi Hrant, Turkish Delights (Prestige). Brief liner notes and no recording date/discographical information included or in Prestige discography. The leader is superb on oud. There are also ensemble performances. Several feature saxophone solos. The saxophonist sounds like Zoot Sims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the saxophonist could be Joe Maneri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess a key piece of evidence is this album https://canary-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-cleopatra-record which features Maneri together with Hrant in an early 60s incarnation as ethnic clarinet virtuoso...

Posted 19 Dec 2021 Ah! I have the same Prestige record by Hrant, only named named Eastern Standard Time. Got it off a blog, and it's on the Near East label, a Prestige subsidiary. Listed here as: https://www.jazzdisco.org/prestige-records/catalog-lively-arts-30000-irish-35000-near-east-45000-series/#nelp-45005 NELP 45005 The Genius Of Oudi Hrant - Eastern Standard Time 1962 Udi Hrant Kenkulian as Oudi Hrant, oud; with ensemble Morty Lewis, tenor sax Morty Lewis? https://www.discogs.com/artist/439252-Morty-Lewis https://www.discogs.com/release/1898508-The-Glenn-Miller-Orchestra-In-The-Digital-Mood https://www.radioswissjazz.ch/de/musikdatenbank/titel/99978b76e079d44713d49300514d75f8dd69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Dec 2021 Alternatively, from the Bandcamp page that Niko linked to above " the resulting LP, originally issued as Eastern Standard Time in 1962 and subsequently reissued as Turkish Delights, included several tracks with jazz saxophonist Johnny Griffin" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely a Lestorian tenor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
