NORMAN WILLIAMS - LIVE SESSION AT THE JUKE BOX IN FRISCO - NO LABEL OR CATALOG NUMBER. THIS RARE PRIVATE PRESSING  FEATURES PRE-BISHOP  WILLIAMS  IN QUARTET, QUINTET AND SEXTET CONFIGURATIONS. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES FOR FEATURED MUSICIANS AND TUNES. THIS HAS THE COVER (WITH SAME ARTWORK EACH SIDE) AT NEAR MINT IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC. THERE IS A BIT OF AGE WEAR ALONG THE OPENING. LABEL SIDE 1 HAS ONE SPINDLE MARK,  LABEL SIDE 2 IS NEAR MINT. THE VINYL HAS A PAPER SCUFF AND A FEW MARKS ON SIDE ONE THAT CAUSE 20 SOFT CLICKS AT THE BEGINNING THEN PLAYS NM. WE'LL GRADE IT VG++. SCUFF SIDE 2 DIDN'T CAUSE ANY NOTEICABLE NOISE AND IS A BIT CLEANER AND VG++. OVERALL THE PLAY GRADE IS A NICE VG++.

 WE CAN FIND NO INFORMATION ON THIS RECORDING. THE PICTURES LOOK LIKE THEY ARE FROM THE MID TO LATE 60'S AND THE LAST DATE MENTIONED IN THE COVER NOTES IS 1961, THOUGH THERE IS REFERENCE TO WHAT MR. WILLIAMS WAS DOING FOR A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT DATE. THE PRESSING HAS AN EARLY 70'S FEEL/VIBE TO IT MORE THAN A 60'S ONE, BUT IT IS A PRIVATE PRESSING WHICH CAN OFFER VARIANCES IN PRESSING QUALITY DIFFERENT FROM MAINSTREAM PRESSING RUNS. THE JUKE BOX IN FRISCO (ON HAIGHT STREET!) IS LONG GONE. THE SEXTET  FEATURES DEWEY REDMON (REDMAN) ON TENOR. MR. REDMAN LIVED AND WORKED IN SF FROM ABOUT 1959 TO 1966.

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING LP, THE MUSIC VERY BIRD INFLUENCED FIREY BOP WITH PRETTY ADVANCED AVANT GARDE TOUCHES TO THE HORN VOICINGS AND THE  CHANGES (WHICH ARE BLISTERING). BY THIS TIME REDMAN HAD ALREADY PLAYED WITH ORNETTE COLEMAN IN TEXAS, AND THE NEW SOUND IS PRESENT. THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD MONO, NOT HIGH FIDELITY BUT VERY LISTENABLE. MR. WILLIAMS INTRODUCES THE TUNES AND MEMBERS OF THE BAND(S).
