JOE MCPHEE - BLACK MAGIC MAN (HAT HUT, 1975)





This is a re-up request for nijimasu.

It's the third time on IS. It was posted by Wallofsound in 2008 here, with a great written response to the music and by Onxidlib in 2001 here. The only reason I am re-posting, rather than adding live links to the earlier posts, is to showcase Klaus Baumgärtner's wonderful graphics, including the first cover.




A1. Black Magic Man
A2. Song For Laureen

B1. Hymn Of The Dragon Kings





Joe McPhee, tenor & soprano saxophone
Mike Kull, piano
Tyrone Crabb, bass & electric bass

Recorded in concert at Vassar College, Poughkeepie, N.Y. on December 12, 1970.
