jerry hahn quintet

...jerry hahn and his quintet only got to make this one LP which certainly is a drag as its a real winner and it absolutely should have been a double wax, not just this 30 minute voyage into post-bop-gypsy-psychedelic-raga-belly-dancing jazzbo blowout...it all kicks off with some bop grooves and gradually moves outward to take in some fusiony flute, psych guitar twanging plus sone cool squeaky fiddle tuneage...the last couple of numbers get down with raga blowing and eastern jamming in a ballroom style,and when these guys played the fillmore auditorium back in the day they set the stoners on fire with the snakey noodle-bop vibes they let loose...may take a couple of spins to get in totally but once it hits its a stone groove all the way, in the pocket and fitting nicely...
...psychedelic bop...
