Charles Brackeen - Rhythm X -The Music Of Charles Brackeen - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Remastered

Recorded in New York in 1968 but unreleased until 1973, Rhythm X presents the little-known saxophonist Charles Brackeen leading a powerhouse band drawn from Ornette Coleman's circle — Don Cherry on trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass, and Ed Blackwell on drums. Across four Brackeen originals the quartet moves between muscular free-bop fire and unexpected beauty, with Haden's restless pulse and Blackwell's flexible swing driving the music. A cornerstone of the Strata-East catalog, reissued on audiophile vinyl by Pure Pleasure.
