Revelation(s)

If you want to feel like a real Seattle jazz scene insider hipster, this twofer is the right place to start. Recorded 40 years ago after an already budding 10 year simpatico with David Friesen, this cat who wore many hats before passing last year created a cross roads in Seattle for jazz to flourish. With Friesen on board as producer and bass/piano fellow traveler, you can get a real feel for how things felt and sounded when the first bunch of Paul Winter's consort got the urge to be their own Icarus' and fly. Culled from live recordings by the then band Morning Star, some of it's rough, some of it's raw, but if you were too young to be a beatnik and didn't relate to that anyway.....here's two discs to help you justify your Elvis Costello hat. Who knew this guy was recording Johnny Cash 30 years before Cash did?
