Remastered 180g Vinyl LP

How Time Passes is the debut album from the envelope pushing trumpeter/composer Don Ellis. He began his long career in the New York City's post bop and avant-garde jazz scenes of late 1950s, appearing on Charles Mingus' Mingus Dynasty, and albums by George Russell and Maynard Feguson. On subsequent albums, Ellis would take a decidedly wilder direction, even embracing Third Stream (a fusion of jazz and classical), and even psychedelia. And here, on his first recoding date as a band leader, one can hear the foreshadowing of the experimentation to come, stretching the boundaries of bop-based jazz and experimenting with time and tempo. Recorded by Candid A&R man and founder Nat Hentoff in at the Nola Penthouse Studios, New York City in October 1960 and featuring Ron Carter, Charlie Pereip, and Jaki Byard. Remastered 180g vinyl LP.
