The Vibrations were a short-lived group led by
Ken McIntyre that also included pianist Richie Harper, bassist
Alonzo Gardner, drummer
Andrei Strobert and
Andy Vega on percussion. With trumpeter
Terumasa Hino as a guest, this LP has the group's only recording, performing six
McIntyre compositions. The leader is heard on one song apiece playing flute, bass clarinet, oboe and bassoon, and he uses the alto on two others. Surprisingly enough, all of the songs were written during the 1956-62 period (all but one are from the 1956-59), although most sound fairly adventurous on this interesting if not essential outing.
