Clarity ... CD ESP, 1976. Used ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
An overlooked early session from multi-instrumentalist MichaelGregoryJackson, recording here with a trio of great horn players in a wonderfully sensitive sound! The record's approach is a perfect illustration of the maturity on the New York avant scene in the late 70s – a real change from the more frenetic modes that ESP was recording a decade before, with some thoughtful, almost pensive points that really round out the record beautifully. Jackson plays mostly guitar, but also vocalizes a bit and plays marimba, percussion, wood flute and other instruments – and he's joined by Oliver Lake on flute and saxes, Wadada Leo Smith on trumpets, and David Murray on tenor sax. Some tracks get nice and bold, while others hold back wonderfully – and titles include "Oliver Lake", "Clarity", "A View Of This Life", "Prelueoionti" and "Iomi". CD
Matthew Shipp on piano and Wurlitzer and Allen Lowe on alto sax – plus MichaelGregoryJackson on guitar, Chris Klaxton on trumpet, Kevin Ray on bass, and Peter McLaughlin on drums.. CD
