Variations On A Blue Line – Round Midnight

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 616055) Hat Hut/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1977 — Condition: New Copy

Seminal solo work from the great Joe McPhee – and a crucial album in linking the American and European undergrounds of the 70s! Joe's working alone here – on soprano sax and tenor – and getting some amazing sounds out of both horns – the kind of post-musical, highly-textural elements that are right at home in the European concert setting of the recording. The album was a legendary start to Hat Art – and to the international fame of McPhee – and side one features an extended tenor performance on the original composition "Beanstalk", and side two features tenor again on "Variations On A Blue Line", then soprano on "Motian Studies", as well as "Round Midnight" – played by Joe with just the right sort of soul to round out the record!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
