Jazz At The Showboat

Add to Cart$7.99 ... LP
(€6.10 || £5.22 || ¥803) (approx.)
LP (Item 479524) Offbeat, Early 60s — Condition: Very Good-

Very early work from Charlie Byrd – a cool little record that has him playing at his home turf of the Showboat club in DC, and working with a group that includes a fair bit of horn players! The style's quite different than Byrd's better-known Brazilian work of the 60s, or his lusher large group sets – as tunes move between small combo club grooving and some more ambitious modes that are almost 50s chamber jazz. Ginny Byrd sings on two tracks, but others are instrumental – and players include the mighty Buck Hill on tenor, plus T Carson on piano, Keter Betts on bass and cello, Bobby Felder on valve trombone, and Kenneth Pasamanick on bassoon. Titles include "Tri X", "Blue Turning Grey Over You", "Byrd's Word", "Conversation Piece", "Top's Tune", "Buck's Hill", and "Don't Explain". (Original pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear, a partially split top seam, and an ink stamp on the front, with a sticker and a couple of light stains on the back.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
