Description
Cut at Van Gelder’s with Alfred Lion producing, Extension finds George Braith leaning beyond his earlier organ-combo comfort into something sharper and more spacious. His braithophone trickery isn’t a gimmick here; those twin lines bloom in the room, especially on Musart, where the bass steps down under a sly horn answer and the drummer flicks a terse four-stroke fill before the theme returns. The hushed ballad on side two shows how much air he can hold in a phrase without losing grit.
This pressing opens the space and sharpens imaging, putting the front line in focus. Cymbals decay cleanly, which flatters the more open arrangements.
Shelve it beside Larry Young’s mid-60s Blue Note modernism, but Braith’s approach feels more streetwise and tangy, less churchy, more agile in the pocket. If you’d rather order online, you can buy George Braith records online with us.
I reach for this during late Friday tidies when you want grit and glide at once. Even a small system in Preston will catch the way the horns separate without getting glassy. Sleeve notes catch the session’s exploratory aim without getting academic.
