From "Blackstone Legacy" : 1970 : Contemporary 7627/8
Originally issued as a double LP, this 1970 record was trumpeter Woody Shaw's debut as a leader and was ambitious to say the least. The music on "Blackstone Legacy" is not easy to classify, and a look at the lineup that Shaw assembled for the session gives a hint at the exciting music within. Bennie Maupin and Gary Bartz on the saxophones, two bassists: Ron Carter & Clint Houston and Lenny White on the drums were all players that had experience with the progressive jazz Shaw was looking to put down on wax. A landmark recording in the realm of modern music, any fan of creative music should give it a listen.
Players:
Woody Shaw - Trumpet
Bennie Maupin - Tenor Sax, Bass Clarinet, Flute
Gary Bartz - Alto & Soprano Sax
George Cables - Electric Piano
Ron Carter - Bass
Clint Houston - Bass
Lenny White - Drums
