Martial Solal - Himself (PDU)

Jazz of the Connecticut Traditional Jazz Club 4 (CTJC). Every year the CTJC put out an album with highlights from their concerts. I have a few, and particularly like this one, because the club somehow got the rights to issue two outtakes from the great New Orleans saxophonist Capt. John Handy's second RCA album. Those two tracks, with Kid Sheik and Louis Nelson, are the highlights, but I also like the concert excerpts from the Louis Nelson / Ernie Cagnolatti band, composed of half New Orleans guys and half New Englanders.

That's frightening! Why would a very contemporary Jazz duo want to have that cover art? Is it a concept album perchance

I really like the album but not the cover art which has no apparent relationship to the music

[sidewinder]

Personally, I really like it - and I’m no prog fan. Binker Golding also did the Lord of the Ringish inner sleeve graphics with their Middle Earthish maps. What the heck - it’s fun and makes a change from some of the pomposity one sees on some sleeves.

These guys are a breath of fresh air in person and this release is reflective of that.

[mjazzg]

well at least it sent me back to this one

nice cover

American Folk Blues Festival (Decca stereo). I couldn't resist this mint copy of the US issue of the very first LP documenting this series (from 1962) when I saw it in a suburban Atlanta record store today.
