Blues and News
Licensed from Futura Records. 180 gram vinyl. "I get something out of listening to Coltrane, Shepp, and Coleman; I'm really pleased that young players are trying to change things.

The Outer View
*2023 stock* "From his earliest days as a composer, George Russell has worked from the assumption that if jazz was to grow as an art form it would have to look within itself for the materials of growth.

The Outer View is one of his most brilliant small-band recordings, applying Russell’s system of tonal organization no…

Of course, both modes of listening are possible, and each works marvelously in its…
