Mel Lewis and Friends (Audio)

Mel Lewis and Friends Side 1
Mel Lewis and Friends Side 2

SKF NOTE: This is a wonderful small group album led by Mel Lewis on the too long defunct Horizon label. Recorded in 1976. Released in 1977.

My cherished copy, which I had with me in 1977 when I interviewed Mel Lewis for Modern Drummer is autographed by Mel.

Ron Carter (bass), Gregory Herbert (alto sax), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Hank Jones (piano), and Cecil Bridgewater (trumpet) round out the album players.

The entire Horizon catalog, which includes Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band albums, is well worth hearing. Hopefully the Horizon catalog will once again be made available at least digitally.
