Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra: "Algerian Fantasy (Part 1)"
Federal 12208. Part 1 of \"Algerian Fantasy\" from an obscure set of sessions by the brilliant arranger and bandleader Gerald Wilson. Terrific exotica with wild flute (courtesy of a young Bill Green) and percussion from Wilson's modern jazz orchestra, which he'd regrouped upon his return to California in 1954.
