Charles Davis - Ingia! (1974) [vinyl>flac]

Charles Davis is joined by Louis Hayes & Company on this rare post-bop outing released on Strata-East Records back in 1974. Charles excels as a musician, composer and arranger. All players are on fire and there is plenty of room for them to express their individual talents. It is an LP that can be revisited many a time. Highly Recommended!
