Revelation

Brand new sealed double album with small saw cutout on top left.

A great little 2LP set – and a near-definitive release of recordings made by Gerry Mulligan and Lee Konitz, along with players like Zoot Sims, Allan Eager, and Al Cohn during the early 50s in LA.  Some of the sides are studio sets, others are recorded live, and all seem to have a freeness that's rare for both of the players at the time.  The sets are a bit loose, but in a good way, one that has the normally controlled Mulligan and Konitz opening up more in a jam session mode, especially on the longer tracks.  Titles include "Disc Jockey Jump", "Crazy Day", "Sextet I", "Revelation", "Four & One More", "Turnstile", and "All The Things You Are".  Great notes, too!
