Cecil McBee Sextet With Chico Freeman ‎– Compassion (1977) [Vinyl> flac 24bit]

The companion to 'Alternate Spaces'.
An album that has never had a CD release, this is my own rip from a mint sealed LP with full scans.

Review by Scott Yanow:
Performed the day after Music From The Source (also recorded at Sweet Basil in New York), this excellent post-bop set features the brilliant bassist Cecil McBee, up-and-coming saxophonist Chico Freeman (heard on tenor and soprano), trumpeter Joe Gardner, pianist Dennis Moorman, drummer Steve McCall and Don Moye on conga. They perform long renditions of a pair of McBee originals, along with Freeman's "Pepe's Samba." The excellent solos, particularly those of Freeman, are adventurous, yet still based in the hard bop/modal tradition.

1. Pepi´s Samba 13:15
2. Undercurrent 10:55
3. Compassion 17:25

Joe Gardner (t) Chico Freeman (ss,ts) Dennis Moorman (p) Cecil McBee (b) Steve McCall (d) Famoudou Don Moye (pc)
Recorded live at Sweet Basil, New York City, August 3, 1977.

    One of the few LPs that I own that I have never found a rip for.... Thanks very much for this, Grumpy. I wonder why it has never been re-issued on CD... or has it?

    Oh yes ... and I wonder whether anyone has rips of either/both of his albums with Hampton Hawes - "Live at The Jazz Showcase in Chicago Vols 1 & 2", again on Enja, that they could share. Another two that have never been re-issued on CD (I think).

    Rab Hines posted CD rips of the two Showcase albums back in 2008 on the old CIA blog. Rab seems to have retired from blogging so I could post them at Buddy Bolden's?
