SHUFFLUPHAGASS

CSULA JAZZ ENSEMBLE
DIRECTED BY ROBERT CURNOW
"CRUSADE"
LP CSULA 579      USA 1980  (Private pressing)


Superb contemporary big band LP recorded by the California State University Jazz Ensemble in 1979 (LP released in 1980).  The first track – Crusade – is an absolute killer full of congas and solid drumming.  Other favorites are Les Hooper’s Shuffluphagass, Jeff Holmes’ Manstae II and Bob Curnow’s Tenth Planet.  The spirit of Stan Kenton is never far, no surprise considering Curnow's closeness to Kenton.

    College Albums are often intriguin. I have one with John Pattitucci playing bass.
    Might you have the North Texas State recording with Lyle Mays in the band? They do something called Sir Garwein and the Green Knight. Thanks for your great music shares.
