Leroy Jenkins-solo concert (india navigation lp 1028) 1977



Here's the great Leroy Jenkins solo concert from 1977, again courtesy of Iain.
who says 'this is a very beautiful concert..I'm happy to be able to share it'

Jenkins here weaves a dense tissue of free improvisation interpolated with rustic folk forms,quotes from hymns and the blues.. cascading ripples of plangent scrapping creaky euphoria.
it features a very simple, lyrical rendition of Billy Strayhorn's lush life..one of the best
an awe inspiring concert from the late under recorded and appreciated master, long overdue for a carefully remastered reissue.
enjoy!!

recorded at Washington square church N.Y.C, on January 11 1977

Wonderful. And another step forward in completing the India Navigation set. I've never heard this one before, so I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks a lot for this .. Leroy plays a lyrical set in which the the relationships between the pieces is intriguing.

Mr Sotise, thank you, thank you, thank you. Also, isn't this one of the loveliest record sleeves ever?

Excellent initiative! I actually attended this concert and remember it clearly. Braxton and Holland were in the audience, and afterwards Braxton went backstage and could be heard saying loudly, "Jenkins, thank you for your beautiful music!"

Thanks for this one and for the invitation to chat with Jenny$$$(19), courtesy of Zippyshare or affiliates ...

c'mon K - Jenny's a lovely girl once you get to know her - she's studying political science, honours year.
She just lets herself be pimped out by the Zippyshare guys when the week's grocery bills get too tough to make
