It’s time to forge the third link of our Jazz Chain. What’s a Jazz Chain you ask? Well, it’s still pretty new so I’ll briefly explain: I’m taking a tour through jazz history, one album at a time, and each week’s album is linked to the last by a musician. One week’s sideman is the next’s leader. We started with Art Blakey’s album Orgy in Rythym and moved on to Sabu Martinez’ Sorcery!. Now we’re taking Cecil Payne, who plays on Sorcery!, jumping ten years forward in time1Because the chain is not bound by temporal logic, only relationships. , and giving a listen to his album Zodiac.
Zodiac – Cecile Payne – 1968/1973
