Fred Katz's Folk Songs for Far Out Folk[1].
A 2000s reissuer of the album states that "Katz believed that jazz was born from "the roots of the people." The roots he explores here are American, Hebrew, and African folk songs, all reinterpreted by Katz for jazz orchestras. The Hebrew folk songs speak to Katz's own roots as the Brooklyn-born son of a kabbalist and communist dentist." Also credited on this album are Paul Horn, flutist Buddy Collette, and pianist John Williams (Star Wars).
