A survivor of the 1960s, Prince Lasha was an inventive avant-garde flutist who occasionally played alto and clarinet. He played in Texas in an early-'50s band that also included <a href="spotify:artist:47odibUtrN3lnWx0p0pk2P">Ornette Coleman</a>. In 1954, Lasha moved to California, where he was pretty much in obscurity until the 1960s. He recorded two <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Contemporary%22">Contemporary</a> albums with <a href="spotify:artist:4HfBxby5e2bCbVPe4pHeuV">Sonny Simmons</a> (1962 and 1967) and a 1966 session for British <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Columbia%22">Columbia</a>, and as a sideman with <a href="spotify:artist:6rxxu32JCGDpKKMPHxnSJp">Eric Dolphy</a> and the <a href="spotify:artist:4dUMhhUjQ2YcNTvab29hYF">Elvin Jones</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:5EwMPIB049C7NXsU4yG2xu">Jimmy Garrison</a> Sextet (both of the latter in 1963). After a few more records for small labels (the last one around 1983), Lasha disappeared from the jazz scene. He passed away in 2008. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
