John Lurie Collection Available


Any John Lurie fans out there?

Amulet has assembled seven of his previously unreleased live and out-of-print studio recordings on The John Lurie National Orchestra’s The Invention of Animals.

The saxophonist has been focusing on painting in recent years, but it's hard to forget his terrific jazz group, The Lounge Lizards. A real renaissance man, he also starred in a number of films, including Stranger than Paradise.

The New Yorker published a fascinating article about Lurie in 2010. Check it out here

The new album is available on vinyl for $17.99.
