The Wayne Powell Octet – Plays Hallucination 1965 (Lo-Lace Records)

Label : Lo-Lace Records (Mo Jazz reissue)

Value :

An ultra-hip treasure from the LA scene of the 60s – very obscure work from the group of vibist Wayne Powell – a combo who sound even hipper than they look on the cover! All tracks here are originals for the date – and the group has Wayne leading an octet of Cali players, but with the sharpness of a small combo jazz date – nice and raw around the edges, with maybe even more bite overall than a Prestige Records session of the time – thanks to excellent work on tenor, trombone, and trumpet – sewn together with a bit of guitar, and strong use of baritone moving between the rhythm and melody. 

Taste :
