Quasar (album)

Quasar is an album by American jazz composer and arranger Jimmy Giuffre which was released on the Italian Soul Note label in 1985.

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states: "Giuffre is heard on clarinet, tenor, soprano, flute and bass flute on eight obscure pieces, including four of his originals. Although often electronic, the music has the typical thoughtfulness of Giuffre's relaxed approach and some picturesque moments".
