This is a MONAURAL release on Lloyd McNeill´s own "ASHA" label: Asha No. 2.
It is the second release on the ASHA label at all.

___TANNER BLUE (9:50)
___DANIEL IN THE LOST LION´S DEN (10:43)
___THE BANJO LESSON (10:47)
4 extended compositions in a extremely soulful-spiritual vein - awesome!
Simply the best you might expect from a jazz flutist!
COVER: heavy cardboard sleeve with only the slightest wear to the corners, amazing clean jacket, has 071 stamped on back (the 71th press out of 1000),
>> close to MINT-
VINYL**: minor streaking, tiny "mark" in the middle of track 1 of side 1 which may cause a slight tic for a few revolutions only (neglectible),
>> a solid EX (visually) to NM- (playgraded)
!!! There´s a reasonable reserve on this rarity which will be met at $105 !!!
**Generally said:
Pls note that a privately pressed record never reaches the sound quality of a new audiophile recording, there may always be a occasional crackle here or there,
mostly from the static-only-type!
I have had two sealed (!) copies of ASHA I and ASHA II, none of these were in stone mint shape; it seams that these privately pressed albums never
reach the high quality standards of a Major company pressing like Blue Note and others. So you will never get a perfect Lloyd McNeill-LP displaying
without any flaw at all.

best soul-jazz flute LPs, and each is first-rate, a masterpiece of
self-direction. The second thing to know is there is much more to him
than his recorded legacy. He is one of those incredible,
super-sensitive people who excels at every artistic idiom and endeavor;
making wonderful music is just part of his flowing creativity. A
professor (at Rutgers University, earlier Dartmouth), he has much to
say about music and creativity as well as an impeccable gift for saying
it...sensibly. McNeill's writings on his musical experiences provide
invaluable documents of "the period" (late 1960s-1970s) as well as a
rare glimpse at the joy of a relatively unsung master.
McNeill
has played with jazz legends --Andrew White (his longtime
collaborator/producer), Eric Dolphy, Sabu Martinez, Mulatu Astatke,
among many others-- and he has had a significant hand in the arts scene
of Washington, D.C. The major galleries of art, including those of the
Smithsonian, sponsored multi-media "happenings" that soared far above
the hippie caricature of acid rock with light show. During the first
flowering of post-Civil Rights, African-American culture, the Lloyd
McNeill Quartet's improvisitory, simultaneuous jazz and large-scale
painting "happened" while a lucky, perhaps unsuspecting public drank it
in.
