Encore!


Leo Wright Combo
Flöte + Alt-Sax = Leo Wright
LP AMIGA ‎– 8 50 056, German Democratic Republic (GDR) - 1966

Here is a contribution from an anonymous visitor who sent us a rip of the this rare album via onxidlib. It is the companion album to the one I posted in December.  The Leo Wright Combo was a Quintet that was built by Leo Wright for a Concert-Tour in the former German Democratic Republic in 1965.



In addition to Wright's excellent work on flute and alto sax, this album is another opportunity to hear the virtuosity and melodic invention of Andre Condouant, probably one of jazz most underrated guitar players.

A blues-drenched album not to miss!

Musicians

Leo Wright - Flute, Alto-Saxophone

André Condouant - Guitar

    It's in mp3-128, mono, but the sound quality is excellent.

    With thanks to anonymous & onxidlib.

    Knowing how incredibly rare this is, i say, better low-bitrate than no bitrate.
    I'm especially eager to hear more Condouant.

    BIG thanks to all involved!
