Ezz-thetics
George Russell Sextet · 1961
George Russell recorded Ezz-thetics in May 1961 for Riverside. His sextet brings together Don Ellis, Dave Baker, Eric Dolphy, Steve Swallow and Joe Hunt, with Russell at the piano. Three original compositions sit alongside material by Miles Davis, Baker and Thelonious Monk. The programme places the leader's writing within a broader set of musical problems.
