Arthur Blythe - Illusions (1980)

 


Blythe's 6th record as a leader, and in my opinion his most funky and far-reaching to date. Immediately you get slapped in the face by some of the most driving, foot-stomping tuba playing I think I've ever heard. Blythe's playing is fun and free and it's clear he's having a great time. Oh but the tuba! I might need more tuba in my life. It's not featured on every track, however the songs featuring Stewart are definitely my favorite. Grab this, kick back, and watch the snow fall.
