The Nimbus Collective – Live in Lotusland (3LPs, Pure Pleasure)

The Nimbus West label is known for its releases by quiet talents from the Los Angeles underground jazz scene. Recorded in July 1987 in sunny Santa Barbara, the sextet The Nimbus Collective created an impressive album with Live in Lotusland; the interaction is spirited, original and simply a joy. All of them excellent, serious musicians, it’s time to give them the attention they deserve, which they didn’t get enough of in their time in trend-loving L.A. alongside the big stars. Live in Lotusland offers over 100 minutes of atmospheric jazz on 3 LPs, peppered with great solos.
