Dusty Groove DG 3023
Recorded January 10 (01 02) 12 (03 04) 13 (05 06) 1966
Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Originally issued on CBS in the UK this is a cd re-issue on the Dusty Groove label.
Prince Lasha, an American alto saxophonist/flautist, was in Europe at the time (1966) and recorded this in London with a number of British jazz players including harpist, David Snell.  Lasha was an associate of Ornette Coleman and there are some similarities in their playing.  He plays a plastic alto here in addition to flute.
The drummer is Joe Oliver and I did wonder whether this was a pseudonym (Phil Seamen perhaps) - or maybe Lasha brought his drummer with him. Any ideas anyone?
An unusual and interesting mix with some fine swinging contributions from David Snell in particular.
Thanks to Pomegranate for this cd rip in FLAC with full booklet scans.

    Just found this on the "Allaboutjazz" site it is an interview between Lasha and Clifford Allen.....
    .AAJ: When you put that band together for Insight, did that band work at all, or was it just for the record date?

    PL: It was for the record date; Stan [Tracey] was working Ronnie Scott's as was Yusef, and the other cats were working clubs too. I just went over there for CBS because John Hammond got that together. Joe Oliver was the drummer, and he was the only other brother in the band. He was in New York at some point, I think.

    Thanks delmonico and Rodney. CBS UK did a lot for British jazz during this period, not just with their main imprint but also with the CBS Realm label. Some interesting information on the history of CBS in the UK here :

    Thanks to all concerned, and especially for the Zippyshare links, as I had problems with the other one.
