A survivor of the 1960s, Prince Lasha was an inventive avant-garde flutist who occasionally played alto and clarinet. He played in Texas in an early-'50s band that also included Ornette Coleman. In 1954, Lasha moved to California, where he was pretty much in obscurity until the 1960s. He recorded two Contemporary albums with Sonny Simmons (1962 and 1967) and a 1966 session for British Columbia, and as a sideman with Eric Dolphy and the Elvin Jones/Jimmy Garrison Sextet (both of the latter in 1963). After a few more records for small labels (the last one around 1983), Lasha disappeared from the jazz scene. He passed away in 2008
The playing grooves of this acetate is in VG+ condition.
There is a flake at the beginning of Mayflower side before the playing grooves begin. There are signs of the playing grooves chipping for the first one inch into the record, so the first two minutes or so may cause the playing grooves to chip off.
On the other side, there is a flake at the beginning before the playing grooves begin, but not into the playing grooves. So the song can be played throughout from beginning to end.
This may be a one of a kind item, and the only way to get it.
You can hear a sample taken from the beginning of the side with two songs, and starting from about two minutes into Mayflower track, by clicking the player below
