Description
Here's some info or review ....The first thing to know about Lloyd McNeill is that his are the very best soul-jazz flute LPs, and each is first-rate, a masterpiece of self-direction. The second thing to know is there is much more to him than his recorded legacy. He is one of those incredible, super-sensitive people who excels at every artistic idiom and endeavor; making wonderful music is just part of his flowing creativity. A professor (at Rutgers University, earlier Dartmouth), he has much to say about music and creativity as well as an impeccable gift for saying it...sensibly. McNeill's writings on his musical experiences provide invaluable documents of "the period" (late 1960s-1970s) as well as a rare glimpse at the joy of a relatively unsung master. McNeill has played with jazz legends --Andrew White (his longtime collaborator/producer), Eric Dolphy, Sabu Martinez, Mulatu Astatke, among many others-- and he has had a significant hand in the arts scene of Washington, D.C. The major galleries of art, including those of the Smithsonian, sponsored multi-media "happenings" that soared far above the hippie caricature of acid rock with light show. During the first flowering of post-Civil Rights, African-American culture, the Lloyd McNeill Quartet's improvisitory, simultaneuous jazz and large-scale painting "happened" while a lucky, perhaps unsuspecting public drank it in ....All compositions, poem, & jacket art by Lloyd G.

Original Lp and jacket. Asha Recordings, Black and White label in great condition. NO mold, NO exposure to dampness. Jacket is a beautiful piece of art created by McNeill. Jacket is GOOD+ condition with some gloss remaining, signs of normal edge and corner wear, some rub-wear on the front and back, a small price-sticker glue mark on the upper right corner, no pen, pencil, marker writing, a strong/intact spine, and 1.5inch bottom/opening seam split. Lp is in VG-/G+ condition, with each side having several scratches. Plays through with suface noise and the some of the scratches clearly "tick," but the sound quality/dynamics are still very nice. It is still a very enjoyable spin - especially considering the talent and the scarcity of this amazing artist's work.
