Vibes player Johnny Lytle was one of the heroes of the early acid
jazz club circuit, with his cuts ‘Selim’ and ‘The Man’ being anthems of
the scene. The Ohio born player’s first album, as a leader was on the Jazzland
label in 1962 with “Nice And Easy” and his second, three years later, on
Riverside “The Village Caller” made him a star in the jazz world. When
Riverside encountered difficulties, co-owner Orrin Keepnews collaborated
with Lytle on two albums which came out on the Detroit label Tuba in 1966 & 1967. He cut 21 studio albums in total and the man,s sound is timeless & still popular in all genres of black music clubs. This is an UPGRADE as posted on the old blog in mp3. The "snapper" & "Selim" gained plays on the Northern/Mod Scene,s to note. If anyone has the booklet i wouldnt say no please & Thanks.
