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.
