Vista LP
Saxophonist Marion Brown ended his ’70s stint at Impulse! Records with this serene and colorful album. It features musicians such as drummer Ed Blackwell and bassist Reggie Workman, plus Stanley Cowell on acoustic piano and 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”.
