Logan, Giuseppi Quintet

***Legendary saxophonist Giuseppi Logan will release his first album in 45 years on NYC’s Tompkins Square label, February 23, 2010. Logan recorded two albums for the ESP label in the mid-’60s featuring Eddie Gomez, Don Pullen and Milford Graves; The Giuseppi Logan Quartet and More. The Giuseppi Logan Quintet, recorded in September 2009, reunites Logan with two of his closest collaborators from the ‘60s, pianist Dave Burrell and drummer Warren Smith. Also joining him on the session are Francois Grillot on bass, and Matt Lavelle, trumpet and bass clarinet. The album features five brand new original Logan compositions, and several standards. Logan will maintain his rigorous schedule of appearances with his group, as well as his steady solo gig in the NW corner of Tompkins Square Park.
