Bob Freedman ~ Journeys of Odysseus 1972
Cobblestone Records CST 9009

A Jazz Suite for Chamber Orchestra
Produced by Gary McFarland

If you enjoyed Gary McFarland's "America The Beautiful" this album was originally based around similar lines. Personaly I find it more like Oliver Nelson's Kennedy Dream album however I'm a sucker for spoken word used as a concept within jazz music.
More classic jazz on the Cobblestone Record Label



"At the begining of each section you will hear a brief spoken quotation from Homer setting the tone for each episode. What each individual will experience or hear into the music depends totally on his own imagination and his sensitivity" Bob Freedman

Prologue (Dawn)
Sea Voyage
The Eaters of The Lotus
Polyphemus
Erebos
Construction of The Raft
The Song of the Sirens
The Besting of The Suitors
Epilogue

Gene Orloff
