George Braith | Musart__One of the most unique & beautiful jazz albums I've ever heard! Sounds ranging from exotica with wordless female vocals, to free jazz - often all within the same track. Worlds away from the typical one dimensional soul jazz that Prestige was cranking out at the time, and from most jazz albums that came before it, or after it on any label__.__For those unfamiliar with Braith, he is most well know as one of the few horn players to embrace Roland Kirks' sticking a bunch of saxaphones in your mouth technique. Far from having a large body of work (3 Blue Note lp's & one other on Prestige, if I'm not mistaken) this is considerd by many to be his masterpiece. But, his other records are quite good, though different and and a bit more conventional. Highly recommended__.via "Waxidermy":http://waxidermy.com/2006/01/11/george-braith-musart/
