Recorded May 7th, 1965 at Studio de la Comédie des Champs-Elysées, Paris.

Two unisued tracks for the first time on vinyl !!!! One of the first true moments of genius from saxophonist Nathan Davis – a mid 60s European session cut for the tiny SFP label – and a record that’s even rarer than his early classics for MPS! The sound here is similar to the MPS sides – a mixture of soul jazz and modal jazz – served up with a bit more freedoms than Davis might have gotten on the US scene, and featuring a lineup that includes Jimmy Gourley on guitar, Rene Urtreger on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums.

Sconsolato Quintet :

Nathan Davis (Tenor & Soprano Saxophone)
