The Ed Summerlin, Bob Norden Qt - Still Eat It - Ictus Records 1994

Some month ago Ernst posted this excellent lp here:

At first I thought I didn’t know the two leaders but the name of Ed Summerlin stayed in my mind without creating any connection with some records, until I rediscovered this summer a forgotten box of cd that contains several dozen of records including this one. I know now why the name of Ed Summerlin was floating around my memory.

You can also find Bob Norden on the superb double cd or double lp of Bobby Bradford with John Stevens & The S.M.E

DON HECKMAN - ED SUMMERLIN IMPROVISATIONAL WORKSHOP "JAX OR BETTOR" (JAZZWORKSHOP, 1965/66]

The leaders of this album were completely unknown to me before I discovered this LP.
Of course the musicians in the rhythm-section are not totally unknown...
Interesting to see the trombonist Bob Norden playing on this mid-sixties recording.
Norden also plays a.o. on Bobby Bradford's and John Stevens' collaboration which was released by Chuck Nessa in 1980.
