This is a pre order and will be shipped on or around release date Approx shipping date is 30/08/19 Mint sealed new David Murray Ballads For Bass Clarinet LP, KKM02 01. Waltz To Heaven 02. New Life 03. Chazz 04. Portrait Of A Blackwoman 05. Lyons Street 06. Elegy For Fannie Lou Another first-time-on-vinyl release from Koko, Ballads For Bass Clarinet (previously a Japan-only CD) comprises a couple of waltzes, a blues, a Monk-ish suite-like piece, a free-ish drums and clarinet interlude, and finally an elegy to civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer. David Murray leads on bass clarinet, managing to go both deep and soaringly high; it sometimes sounds like two different instruments are being played. Backed by John Hicks (piano), Ray Drummond (bass) and Idris Muhammad (drums), Murray’s quartet is tight and the recording superb, with a warm and intimate sound. Highly recommended.
