Good one.

I admit I am not a great fan of Roland Kirk's multi instrument playing but I can appreciate the effort.

Yeah, I'll have to listen closer to the Prestige but the Cleopatra date isn't far off and that has been confirmed to be Maneri. I could ask Mat next time I see him.

Ah! I have the same Prestige record by Hrant, only named named Eastern Standard Time. Got it off a blog, and it's on the Near East label, a Prestige subsidiary.

NELP 45005   The Genius Of Oudi Hrant - Eastern Standard Time   1962

Udi Hrant Kenkulian as Oudi Hrant, oud; with ensemble Morty Lewis, tenor sax

Morty Lewis?

Alternatively, from the Bandcamp page that Niko linked to above

" the resulting LP, originally issued as Eastern Standard Time in 1962 and subsequently reissued as Turkish Delights, included several tracks with jazz saxophonist Johnny Griffin"

No way that is Johnny Griffin. Definitely a Lestorian tenor.

It's not Johnny Griffin.

They also call Prestige Orin Keepnews' label, so I think they are not deeply informed about some things.

Yes, and a good deal of what they write is taken from here about the Cleopatra album

This Morty Lewis guy seem totally credible, but I'd feel better if Jazzdisco could give a citation. It's not on any of the LPs, is it?

A gem. What a band that was, with Budd Johnson as the straw boss IIRC.

Yes, that´s the best Billy Eckstine band I ever heard.  Too bad there are not more of that format. I like the Savoy´s also very much, but here you hear the band better.

Audio equipment has advanced dramatically since the days of mono. Just because something was released to be able to be played back on a Close & Play, it doesn't mean it sounds better that way.
