Turkish Women at the Bath

Turkish Women at the Bath is an album by drummer Pete La Roca which features saxophonist John Gilmore and pianist Chick Corea.

[1][2][3] The album was rereleased in 1973 on Muse Records under Corea's name as Bliss!, but was withdrawn after legal action by La Roca.

[4] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow commented: "it was actually drummer Pete La Roca's date, and he contributes seven now-forgotten but quite intriguing originals.

But of greatest interest is the playing of tenor saxophonist John Gilmore, heard during one of his few excursions away from Sun Ra.

[5] On All About Jazz, Jim Santella noted Turkish Women at the Bath is based on the painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, offering inspiration for each of LaRoca's seven compositions.
