Year of the Iron Sheep is an album by American jazz musician Ken McIntyre.

Background

Year of the Iron Sheep was Ken McIntyre's third album, and his first for United Artists Records.[1] It was named after his birth year in the Tibetan calendar.[1]

Recording and music

The album was produced by Alan Douglas[2] and recorded at Sound Mixers, New York City.[3] All of the tracks except "Laura" were composed by McIntyre.[1] The final track, "Someday", was taken from a June 11, 1962 session involving trombonist John Mancebo Lewis,[3] but although he is mentioned on the sleeve[2] this was in fact the only track from that session on which he did not play.[3] A second session, on August 31, yielded "Cosmos", played by McIntyre with Jaki Byard (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Louis Hayes (drums).[3] For the final session, four days later, Hayes was replaced by Ben Riley, and the remaining four tracks on the album were recorded.[3]

Releases

Year of the Iron Sheep was released on LP by United Artists.[2] It was later combined with another album and additional tracks on the 2-CD set The Complete United Artists Sessions.[4]

Reception

Billboard selected the album as a "special merit pick", commenting that "McIntyre's work on alto and flute is exciting and lyrical, and worth hearing as a new direction in scored jazz."[1]
