Geechee Recollections is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Marion Brown recorded in 1973 and released on the Impulse! label.[1] Along with Afternoon of a Georgia Faun and Sweet Earth Flying, it was one of Brown's albums dedicated to the US state of Georgia.[2] The Geechee of the title are a distinct African-American cultural group living in costal regions of Georgia and North Carolina.
The Allmusic reviewer Brian Olewnick awarded the album 4 stars, writing, "Brown receives excellent support by a strong ensemble including trumpeter Leo Smith and the great drummer Steve McCall. Brown, with his marvelously limpid tone on alto, is a joy to hear and seems more at home and relaxed here than on some of his more strident early records. Recommended".[3] The New York Times described his trio of Georgia-related albums as "his most notable recordings".[4]
