One of the few albums ever cut by vibist
Lem Winchester – a hip talent from the soul jazz generation, but one who left our planet all too soon! Here,
Lem plays vibes with backing from the
Ramsey Lewis trio – excellent rhythm work from Eldee Young on bass and Redd Holt on drums – plus lyrical piano that blends nicely with the vibes, almost in a Jack Wilson/
Roy Ayers sort of mode! Tracks include "Joy Spring", "Jordu", "Sandu", "Message From Boysie", and "Where It Is", an original by
Winchester.
(Japanese pressing, with insert – Victor MJ 1008. Back cover has some light aging, front is nice – and vinyl is great.)
