A.K. Salim 'Flute Suite' (Savoy, mono)

with Joe Wilder, Frank Rehak, Herbie Mann, Frank Wess, etc...

What's this like?

Excellent! Really enjoyed listening to that one. Very nice session with a lot of flutes but also plenty of solo space for Wilder, Rehak, Wess on tenor on a couple of tunes, Mann also on one!

This does not seem to have been reissued (checked the list of reissues on the recent Savoy/Denon thread).

Strangely, the LP also includes one number (Woolafunt's Lament) which was recorded at the 'Jazz For Playboys' album but did not make it there!

Any alto flute? I love alto flute. What's the rhythm section like? Any bongos? Latin percussion goes well with flute.

No alto flute! The accompanying players is the standard Savoy rhythm section - a very good and a no frill one - with Hank Jones, Wendell Marshall, Bobby Donaldson!

I like Bobby Donaldson (he is really in the groove here) but I much prefer Kenny Clarke. Glad Klook came to France at the time but I wish he had stayed for that one!

I've often wondered what sort of a singer he was. What's it like TTK?

Two parts Lonnie Liston Smith (when he was in his earlier introspective cosmic/black consciousness mode, pre-disco); one part Milton Nasciamento, circa "Clube de Esquina." Knowing your taste, I think you'd like him a lot. He sings in a soulful baritone.

I don't think I've heard either of those singers. But I do take your rec. I'll see if I can see something cheap to start off with.

Thanks.

I'm surprised you never heard Lonnie Liston Smith. See if you can find something by him pre-1976.

Milton Nascimento is a Brazilian singer/songwriter who arrived after bossa nova and before tropicalia. He probably made the second-biggest splash in the English-speaking pop scene, next to Gilberto Gil, of that group of musicians.

I know who they are - and I've got LL Smith stuff with Pharoah Sanders. His albums looked like twaddle, so I never bothered to listen to them. Had to focus on the small number of LPs I could actully afford in those days, anyway.
