Roy Haynes Quartet feat. Roland Kirk "Out Of The Afternoon" 1962

Out of the Afternoon is a splendid sounding 1962 set from the Roy Haynes Quartet -- which, at the time, consisted of Haynes, Henry Grimes on bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Roland Kirk on saxes, manzello, stritch, and flutes...
...The album is a delightful mix of techniques in arrangement and performance, with all of the musicians delivering terrific work. Haynes' drumming is absolutely wonderful here, lightly dancing around the other instruments; Flanagan's piano playing is equally light and delicate; Grimes' bass work is outstanding (during "Raoul" you have a chance to hear one of the few bowed bass solos on records of that era); and there's no more to be said about Kirk's sax and flute work that hasn't been said a hundred times, apart from the fact that the flute solos on "Snap Crackle" help this cut emerge as particularly outstanding. - Out of the Afternoon Review by Steven McDonald

Great cover shot. Ahead of its time. There'd be a lot of similar shots starting in about 5 years.

Haven't heard or seen this one before RYP. Can't wait to slap the ear cups on the Gulliver and wait for the aural waves to saturate the little grey cells.

Thanks a lot.
