Indo-Jazz Suite (US pressing)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 15662) Atlantic, 1966 — Condition: Used

A lost classic, and a landmark blending of jazz and world music! The core of the group is that quintet of West Indian alto player Joe Harriott – one of the leading lights of the British jazz scene of the 60s, and a dedicated modernist who was as important to England as Ornette Coleman was to America. Harriott's group is expanded by the addition of John Mayer's quintet of Indian musicians, who play in tandem with Harriott's group in a swirling blend of styles and sounds. The sound is spacey and trippy, with more elements of Indian music, than of jazz, but Harriott still manages to get some nice playing in. The whole album is one long suite of tracks, and titles include "Contrasts", "Raga Megha", and "Raga Gaud-Saranga". (Purple & red label pressing. Cover has a mark from an old sticker – and back is peeling a bit in one corner.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
