George Braith is a little-known name in jazz history. The saxophonist,
who played fairly advanced hard bop, performed on soprano, alto, tenor,
and stritch. In addition to being one of the few jazz musicians, other
than Rahsaan Roland Kirk, to play stritch, Braith also occasionally
played two horns at once (one less than Kirk), getting a rather eerie
sound. He recorded three albums for Blue Note during 1963-1964; all of
the music has been reissued on this two-CD set. Braith's repertoire
(which includes originals, "Poinciana," "Boop Bop Bing Bash," and
"Mary Had a Little Lamb") is sometimes unusual, but he managed to uplift
most of the pieces. Braith is joined by the great guitarist Grant Green,
organist Billy Gardner, and one of three drummers on these formerly rare
performances, which are nearly his entire recorded legacy. After this,
there would be just two albums for Prestige during 1966-1967, then
nothing as a leader until a 1992 set for the Japanese Paddywheel label.
Worth checking out.
