Little G (Harold McNair) ‎— Bahama Bash (USED)

Very rare stereo pressing (only 1 other copy is listed on Discogs) - rare in general. Remarkably clean, conservatively rated as VG+ but other than some very lite inner sleeve wear to the record I'd call it a NM- ! / Artwork is VG(+) Back of artwork has a minor tear at top corner and maybe what looks like a little condensation wear on the top near the opening. /

HAROLD MCNAIR born in Kingston, Jamaica. is a latin jazz, big band hard bop music artist. "Bahama Bash" was the first album released under his stagename Little G. After playing calypso music as Little G in the relative obscurity of his homeland and then the Bahamas, saxophonist McNair went to America and then Europe in the late 50. He began playing with jazz musicians such as Kenny Clarke and Quincy Jones and also led his own small group, switching regularly between saxophone and the newly learned flute. It was on the latter instrument that McNair would become better known, with his unique phrasing earning him a series of non-jazz sessions with artists including Donovan, John Martyn, and CCS. For a while he commuted between Europe and the USA, eventually making London his base in the mid-60s. From then until his untimely death from lung cancer in 1971, McNair worked with British and American mainstream and modern musicians, and was also active in the studios. In later decades, his music was frequently ‘raided’ by samplers.
