Mirrors [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing of this reissue of the 1971 album from the Jazz trumpeter. To share in his return to the studios as a leader, Bailey naturally looked to his colleagues in the Clarke - Boland Big Band. From the wealth of resources there he plucked Tony Coe, Sahib Shihab and bassist Jean Warland. As drummer, he brought in another expatriate, Tony Inzalaco, a young man with a very broad vision of what music is about. Between them, Coe and Shihab handle various flutes, tenor saxophone and clarinet, enough of a tonal palette for arranger Boland to feel free and unhindered. Rearward.
