Searching online for a list of less well known jazz labels (for no particular reason at all, just something to browse over lunch, thought maybe I’d see a handful I’d forgotten, or never knew)…
And as with most all of my jazz searches, the results led back to an Organissmo thread (this one). So bump!!
I love that album. the Song of the World is wonderful, the lyrics really fit to me since in the warm season it happens often that after working all night long I spend the early morning at some lake and take a swim and feel about what that song expresses.
And the whole album is great. Some boppish stuff, some ”free”, and some with a kind of backbeat.
Very very nice !
I just learned from a Jim Alfredson Facebbok post that George Howard passed away at the age of 100. Jim brought George into his home studio in 2017 to record "How It's Done", Howard's first recording - undertaken at the age of 92! It is a great CD and I'm glad Jim convinced George to do it. Lansing's City Pulse did a story on the session: https://lansingcitypulse.com/stories/oh-yeah-george,2650
Here's George's obit: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/george-howard-obituary?id=60161751
I'm going to give this CD a spin again.
