Marion Brown - Vista - Vinyl LP

2023 reissue. German Pressing

Saxophonist Marion Brown ended his '70s stint at Impulse! Records with this serene and colorful album. Released in 1975, Vista features musicians such as Ed Blackwell (drums), Reggie Workman (bass) and Stanley Cowell (acoustic piano, Fender Rhodes). While Brown wrote the blissful coaster "Vista," the five other compositions are well-chosen, starting with an inviting version of Cowell's "Maimoun" and an impressionistic and deeply meditative take on Stevie Wonder's "Visions."
