(ESP)
LOWELL DAVIDSON’S one and only album, released by pioneering avant-garde label ESP in 1965, has the face of a young black man resolutely looking outwards, his steel-rimmed glasses reflecting the keys of his piano.
It is a haunting image of a musician who played the organ and led the choir in his local episcopal church as well as blowing tuba in his school band before leaving home to study biochemistry at Harvard.
