THERE
ARE FEW RECORDINGS THAT ARE AS HARMONIOUS AND NATURAL SOUNDING AS THIS. A RECORDING THAT ORIGINALLY HAD LITTLE TO NO
DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES, PORTER RECORDS IS PROUD TO BE RELEASING “COUNTERBALANCE” ON CD FOR THE FIRST
TIME. WHILE IT FITS WITH IN THE REALM OF JAZZ, IT IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A JAZZ ALBUM. RECORDED AND RELEASE IN
1971 AND INCORPORATING A FENDER RHODES, FLUTE, GUITAR, DRUMS AND BASS, YOU WILL FIND A STRONG LYRICAL-ISM THAT ISN’T
OFTEN HEARD IN JAZZ. A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE JAZZ MOVEMENT OF THE 70’S.
