Western Suite [LP]

Jimmy Giuffre - Western Suite [LP]

- LP pressed on black vinyl
- Recorded in 1958 by Heinz Kubicka, Herb Kaplan, and Tom Dowd
- Reveals a fully developed sense of the responsibilities, possibilities, and freedoms of reinventing jazz for the trio 
In late 1957, jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and iconoclast Jimmy Giuffre broke up the original Jimmy Giuffre 3 with Ralph Pena and Jim Hall. In early 1958, for a recording session, he formed a new trio without a rhythm section. For the album "Trav'lin' Light", his new trio included Hall on guitar and the underrated trombone giant Bob Brookmeyer.
