Just when I thought I had completely mined the borrowed vinyl collection...I ran across another great one from that very batch.Giuffre's trio is not without subtlety. He manages to hold on to his "cool" as he explores mostly African rhythms. Once again joined by a couple of musicians I don't know, Giuffre brings it all together.
This record rules on a warm summer night.
Jimmy Giuffre - flute, clarinet, and tenor sax
Kiyoshi Tokunaga - bass
Randy Kaye - percussion
12/72 Choice 1001
produced by Gerry MacDonald

Thanks very much for this, it's a cracker
Delighted to stumbled upon this. Thank you.

1. mosquito dance
2. night dance
3. flute song
4. eternal chant
5. the bird
6. the waiting
7. the butterfly
8. the chanting
9. moonlight
10. dervish
11. phoenix
12. feast dance
Thanx, Hook, for the treats. We appreciate, even those too timid (or lazy) to respond.
This is realy beautiful. Even looking at ice on the street that is about a foot thick, icecold wind howling and everthing covered in moonlight white. Jimmy is right there with Butterflies and Mosquitos. The woodwind genius plays every instrument with great sound, feeling and spirit. For years I have been checking record stores for his albums but never held this one in my hands, listening to this now feels so good.
Thanks for the enlightning music

Wow, thanks so much for this - I'm a big fan of the late Mr Giuffre. I posted about the ECM reissue 1961 on my site Hard Format recently: http://www.hardformat.org/4375/jimmy-giuffre-3-1961/. After hearing clips of Quasar I'm thinking I need to hear his later work too.
thanks, i've been wanting this for a long time. giuffre was a rare cat.
Thanks! JG-Unit inna house 4 eva!
