My first McIntyre title.
The opportunity to open a sealed album from the early 60’s is a rare occasion. This one was still in it’s original loose plastic sleeve. It’s an original 1st stereo pressing, with the Plastylite ”P” in the dead wax on both sides.
Didn’t have any titles by multi-instrumentalist Ken McIntyre in the collection before this one. Haven’t explored his stuff much. He was a great player. Very accomplished on both alto and flute, which he plays on this session.
The music is beautiful. McIntyre is backed by three different groups. Some of the players include Jaki Byard, Ahmed Abdul-Malik, Ron Carter and Louis Hayes.
The album was named after McIntyre’s birth year in the Tibetan calendar. Love the music, love the cover art and it’s matte surface, it’s all good.
