RUSSELL, GEORGE SEXTET - Live Rarities 1960 (Sealed) (LP)

Here is the maverick George Russell Sextet caught in a rare live recording from a concert held at Music Inn, in Lenox Massachusetts on September 1, 1960. George Russell's kaleidoscopic sound conception takes shape through the collective interplay of a brilliant tight band featuring George Russell himself on piano, Al Kiger - trumpet, Dave Baker - trombone, Dave Young - tenor sax, Chuck Israels - bass and Joe Hunt - drums. A great example of challenging modern and yet swinging Jazz, including highlights such as Russell's original "Stratusphunk" and an early Carla Bley's tune called "Dance Class"
