Green Line is very rare and one the most sort after LP's on Storyville, a Danish jazz label that did mainly traditional releases but with a few exeptions.
The players include Steve Marcus, sax, Miroslav Vitous, bass, Sonny Sharrock, guitar and Daniel Humair on drums.
With tracks exploring avant-garde jazz, I wouldnt really have kept this joint if it wasnt for the (for me) stand out cut Melvin.
Yes this is what its all about, Melvin penned by Humair opens with hardcore modal jazzfunk held down by a tough upright bass + guitar riff...definitely recommendable for the funk jazz collectro.
As you can see the cover is not in the best of conditions but the vinyl is fortunately near mint.
I found it many years ago, I recall that the shop had a whole pile of these glued together due to water damage, I literally pulled them apart one by one and chose the least damaged, thing is I only bought one copy, they were under a dollar a piece and I should have copped the entire stack of course, they would have made me a small ebay fortune today!
