Michael Gregory Jackson – Clarity (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Michael Gregory Jackson arrived at those 1976 sessions already fluent in a musical language that crossed jazz, blues, and experimental improvisation, a versatility that would later define his work alongside Ornette Coleman and his long run as a sought-after collaborator across genres. Clarity captures a moment when the New York loft scene was its own universe, and Jackson, Lake, Murray, and Smith were among its most restless citizens.
We are marking 50-years since a 22 year old Michael Gregory Jackson recorded his groundbreaking first release, recorded with the mind blowing group of his contemporaries Oliver Lake, David Murray and Leo Smith. It's a rare document of NYC loft jazz, a perfect balance between multiple genres. Recorded in 1976, this is it's first authorized reissue on LP.Michel Gregory Jackson - Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Bamboo Flute, Timpani, Marimba, PercussionOliver Lake - Flute, SoIndian Fluteprano Saxophon, Alto Saxophone, Talking Drum, CowbellDavid Murray - Tenor SaxophoneLeo Smith - Trumpet, Trumpet soprano, Flugelhorn
