The Visitors, in 4 albums


















 From Discogs:

The Visitors are made-up of saxophone playing brothers Earl and Carl Grubbs.

Interestingly, John Coltrane's wife Naima Coltrane is the first cousin to Earl and Carl Grubbs (aka The Visitors), and they did a cover of John's classic "Naima" on their album "Neptune".

Astonishingly beautiful cover art for their first album.  Surprisingly this is a photo not a drawing, as I initially incorrectly thought.

They made 4 albums as you can see, Neptune (1972), In My Youth (1973), Rebirth (1974) and Motherland (1976) all very similar relatively simple modal style jazz with the double saxes from the brothers.

Title track of the first album:

    Thank you, Julian! I thought of them immediately when I heard "Pilvi" from the jazz Liisa series you posted (reminded me of the song "Motherland").
