Bill Dixon 7-Tette/Archie Shepp and the NY Contemporary Five (Savoy)
Decided to give this a spin after reading Jeff's post of a few days ago. Glad I did.
Beyond Lee, Warne, and Lowe, it was interesting to see and hear Don Elliot take a solo on mellophone. I don't think I'd ever seen a mellophone soloist before this.
Thanks for the post for various reasons.
Is this Nighthawk material?
I have a Gladiators LP - Serious Thing - and an LP - Dread Prophecy - where they back Ethiopian (Leonard Dillon). Both are on the Nighthawk label and both are great records.
I have the LP version. Had no idea that there was extra material on the CD - sounds like it might be interesting. There was a time when I'd jump at the chance to hear the additional music, but at this stage of the game, I'll probably stick with what I already have.
