The Curtis Counce Group (later released as Landslide) is an album by American jazz bassist Curtis Counce recorded in 1956 and released on the Contemporary label.[1]
Reception
[edit]The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "All of Counce's recordings (which include a slightly later album for Dootone) are well worth getting by collectors interested in 1950s straight-ahead jazz. This disc is an excellent place to start".[2]
