Riverside Records 1962 Re-Issue Sealed
The great composer/pianist George Russell builds on his illustrious past with this 1962 recording. A player who has recorded with luminaries like Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans and Art Farmer is joined on this one by a young Don Ellis on trumpet, Pete LaRoca on drums, trombonist Garnett Brown, tenor player Paul Plummer and 21 year-old bassist Steve Swallow. In addition, the band is joined on one track with what I believe is Sheila Jordan's debut recording, a truly bizarre take on "You Are My Sunshine". Russell does two originals, a cooking "The Outer View" and the pleasantly odd "D.C. Divertimento." Bird's "Au Privave" is given a facelift. George Russell has the distinction of sounding both familiar and alien. Yet another brilliant outing from the always underrated Russell.
