Nathan Davis Sextet Peace Treaty
Limited Edition 180g Vinyl LP - 2000 Copies!
Remastered From Original Stereo Master Tapes!
Pressed at Pallas!
One of the first true moments of genius from saxophonist Nathan Davis - a mid '60s European session cut for the tiny SFP label - and a record that's even rarer than his early classics for MPS! The sound here is similar to the MPS sides - a mixture of soul jazz and modal jazz - served up with a bit more freedoms than Davis might have gotten on the US scene, and featuring a lineup that includes Woody Shaw on trumpet, Jean-Louis Chautemps on baritone sax, Rene Urtreger on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums. The tight rhythm of Woode and Clarke is a nice counterpoint to the modernism of Davis and Shaw - Davis works a bit on soprano, which sounds especially great!
