Spirits In Fellowship by Vinny Golia, released on Nine Winds in 1977.
Alright, so I finally sat down with Vinny Golia’s Spirits In Fellowship — yeah, the 1977 one, his actual debut. Released on his own Nine Winds label, which, let’s be real, is kinda punk rock for jazz in ‘77. Recorded in Venice, CA. October ‘77. Smells like patchouli and rebellion. And man, this thing? It’s not background music. You don’t put this on while folding laundry unless you wanna stab your socks with a fork. First off — the lineup. John Carter on clarinet? YES. Roberto Miranda on bass? Double yes. Alex Cline on drums? Okay triple yes. And then Vinny himself doing… like… everything else? Tenor, baritone, piccolo, flutes, recorders, sho (what even IS a sho? I had to look it up), percussion. Dude’s basically a one-man woodwind circus...
