AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD release by Curtis Counce, complete with original artwork and liner notes.
Tedddy Charles-"Collaboration West"; "You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce"; "Exploring The Future" and "Carl's Blues".
Perhaps not as widely known as some of his contemporary bassist's like Mingus (only last name required!), Red Callender, Oscar Pettiford, Art Davis, Ray Brown, Paul Chambers or Milt Hinton, our featured artist Curtis Counce was a very highly regarded bassist who played with amongst others Lester Young, Shelly Manne, Teddy Charles, Clifford Brown, Wardell Gray, Shorty Rogers and Stan Kenton as well as making his own albums. Three fine examples of which we feature here alongside Counce's excellent contribution to the Teddy Charles led album "Collaboration West".
