THE DON ELLIS ORCHESTRA Electric Bath (Original 1968 US red Columbia label 5-track '360 Sound' STEREO LP, the first studio recording for Don with his Orchestra and an impressive one it is too, with the wonderful Turkish Bath and Open Beauty originals plus Indian Lady in 5/4 time and New Horizons based on a musical cycle in 17/4 [divided into 5-5-7]! Like Dave Brubeck before him, playing with irregular time signatures was his forte, and Don delivers the goods on this, his masterpiece,which is now considered a 'new jazz' classic of the sixties, and even gets the full thumbs up from Henry Mancini and his teenage son on the back of the sleeve! The pasted picture sleeve shows remarkably little wear with age and the vinyl is flawless. A must-have CS9585)
