lincontinental Obviously I love music. One listen, I went what?? They made the record I dreamt of before I existed. I’m here, living these songs, but they’re better than I would have written them. Denny and George carved out a better now

Please note that the vinyl version listed here is only 2 discs not 3. Don't be confused and disappointed when it arrives, it's still well worth the price!

about

The Name Of This Terrain, the missing entry in jazz pianist/composer/psychiatrist Denny Zeitlin’s discography, a wonderful and weird fusion of avant-classical, jazz, funk, rock and electronic music. The Name of This Terrain was recorded and pressed in a scant, custom run as a demo in 1969 –and it so defied its own existence that, even after its producer died and his copies were discovered, Zeitlin steadfastly resisted its release for almost 20 years, destroying his remaining demos so not to posthumously suffer the same ignominy. Following his reappraisal, this album is issued with its creator’s blessing and guidance. You will surely never hear an album like this again, by the musician the venerable jazz critic Leonard Feather called “ the most versatile young pianist to come to prominence in the early sixties,” and who took a left turn at the end of the decade, documenting a pivotal 20th century moment with passion, intellect, and humor in turn. Bonus disc, available only to subscribers, contains Zeitlin recordings issued before and after The Name Of This Terrain, and an extensive booklet tells Zeitlin’s story, and that of this special “betwixt and between” album, a private issue finally ready for the public to engage.
