Out of Nowhere (Don Ellis album) explained
Out of Nowhere is an album by trumpeter Don Ellis recorded in 1961 but not released on the Candid label until 1988.[1] [2]
Reception
AllMusic stated: "The players constantly take chances with time but there are few slipups or hesitant moments. A fascinating and long-lost session".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that "Ellis plays lines and melodic inversions of considerable inventiveness, always striking out for the microtonal terrain he was to colonise later in the '60s".[4]
