How about that cape? ... Most dudes would look silly wearing that thing.  But Chico looks debonair.

 

All these guys smoking back in the day.

Oudi Hrant, Turkish Delights (Prestige). Brief liner notes and no recording date/discographical information included or in Prestige discography. The leader is superb on oud. There are also ensemble performances. Several feature saxophone solos. The saxophonist sounds like Zoot Sims.

Awesome, would love to check this out. I believe the saxophonist could be Joe Maneri.

I just lucked into this on eBay in perfect condition.

I guess a key piece of evidence is this album

https://canary-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-cleopatra-record

which features Maneri together with Hrant in an early 60s incarnation as ethnic clarinet virtuoso...

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.

Listed here as: https://www.jazzdisco.org/prestige-records/catalog-lively-arts-30000-irish-35000-near-east-45000-series/#nelp-45005

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?
