Various Artists - Such Great Friends - Pure Pleasure LP

Vinyl LP, Strata-East Reissue

A lost bit of late Strata East — an all-star session that never lets up. The album is a quartet effort led by Stanley Cowell and featuring Billy Harper on tenor, Reggie Workman on bass, and Billy Hart on drums. Driven strongly by Cowell's modal approach to the groove and perfectly executed by the team of Workman and Hart, the tracks are all quite long, spinning out with a freely expressive approach.
