Great CD of two rare Lp's from one of the greatest Barintoni

"Combines two Danish now OOP "Conversation" LP from 1965 and 1971 "Sentiments".Would say this is best thing he ever put down but let me just say this is one of the best (most danceable) CD's of Shihab who left USA and went to become one of the phenomenal Clarke Bolland Big Band.IT IS INCREDIBLE!!! But now that Schema/Rearward has released his Vogue LP's with Clarke Bolland (ones with white over-spacing on title) his he other great work out there like medium ensemble group session with Danish Radio Big Band on Oktav.But this is best two works along with insanely hard to find "Shaib Shihab's Jazz Party" On Danish Debut.That is a $1K LP is your able to find it though short run CD did come out.This is combination of all the cool you'd find in say a Coltrane Classic Quartet LP or something like Lateef's "Eastern Sounds".I wish they would release his "Summer Dawn" on Argo.Just listen.It is a killer CD by a Baritone player who is mentioned only in the same category of other modern greats like Mulligan,Pepper Adams and damn few others.

Cheers

Rare Gem

"Very rarely do you hear an album that sounds at times like Kirk, other times like Mingus and at all times intelligent and inventive. A wonderful unknown gem that is a must have."
