Reviews
Edited 6 years agoA superb session. I do prefer the stereo mix over the mono mix, though. Most Blue Notes from this era and before sound better in mono in my honest opinion, but this particular record sounds best in stereo. The session is on fire, and you imagine yourself somewhere in the middle east, accompanied by belly dancers and camels. A masterpiece.
Edited 7 years agoBasra is a classic mid-60s jazz album by a young and dynamic drummer. The LP never slows down. The mood is mystic, moody. Everyone - Joe Henderson, tenor sax; Steve Swallow, bass and Steve Kuhn, piano - have robust tone and rhythm. The improvisation is so much better than most of what I hear today. This is a classic album I've enjoyed for 50 years. As usual Rudy Van Gelder gets that up close immediate sound.
