"This release presents George Russell's complete original album Jazz in the Space Age (Decca DL-9219)."
"As a bonus, we have added a true rarity: a complete live performance by the George Russell Sextet taped a few months after the culmination of Jazz in the Space Age. As this concert was recorded on amateur equipment the sound quality is inferior to that of our main album." |
