Cecil Payne

LIMITED EDITION - AUDIOPHILE RE-MASTERING

ANALOGUE 180 GRAM VINYL

A hard to find recording by the great baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne, Zodiac is an outstanding quintet date featuring Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Wilbur Ware on bass, Wynton Kelly on piano, and Albert Heath on drums. From the beginning it's clear that the recording process was actually a lot of fun for everybody, as their enthusiasm and energy jumps right out of the speakers. The album is actually dedicated to two members of the band, Wynton Kelly and Kenny Dorham, who died in between the recording sessions and its release.
