Finally >  Thank you Inamorata, for your third contribution:





James Newton Trio and Quartet: Binu (Circle Records, 1977)

Here's the third and last installment of The Complete James Newton on Circle Records.

Recorded August 21, 1977 at Studio Z, Los Angeles, by Bruce Bidlack
Produced by Rudolf Kreis

This studio date must be one of Mark Dresser's earliest recordings. It also is the first officially issued encounter between Newton and koto player Allan Iwohara who also figures on Newton's fine "Water Mystery" from 1985. A later (?) video of James Newton performing with Allan Iwohara ist at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjVgwOpXxgg.
Again, the LP transfer was de-rumbled and de-clicked but otherwise left unchanged.

    well over a year later and adding my voice to a request for this impossible to find release...

    wish more James Newton releases were here too - hard to find his jazz work from late 70s
