Roscoe Mitchell & the Note Factory: Song for My Sister (Pi)

[duaneiac]

This "Ginza Samba" has long been one of my favorite tracks -- great swinging playing all around, not least of all by guitarist Eddie Duran, the low man on the totem pole of true jazz legends who made this recording, but who apparently is still alive and will turn 92 next week.

Alright guys, right in my wantlist

 

From the sessions taking place between March and July 1975 @Vanguard Studios NYC and (also) highly recommended :

            

East Wind ‎ UCCJ-9142

East Wind ‎UCCJ-9155

The forementioned CD`s were released in 2015 in Japan and offer as additional bonus superb sound. Having been a limited edition these are getting rather  scarce these days ....

For obvious reasons  ....

!  That's the CD Bobby Hutcherson autographed for me the one time I met him!

Now playing:

Several albums have been recorded at Yoshi's Oakland location.  I wonder how many were recorded at the short-lived SF location?  Ms. Fontaine is a vocalist (the first I've herd of her, but she sounds pretty good) and is featured on most of the tracks here, so this outing is not for "hot club" purists.
