    I think there was a group call LIGHTHOUSE too. Can't remember their hit.
    "One Fine Morning"...they were from Toronto, I think.

    Forgot about them. A little more pop than jazz for my taste,

    but there were parts of their first LP, I think

    (the one with the reflective silver cover...just like If's first LP as well),

    that had some nice moments.

    Lighthouse did a fun "Eight Miles High" on their live album. They were from Canada for sure, Toronto sounds right. Skip Prokop, who had been in the Paupers (shoulda woulda coulda been 60's psych stars if their bass player hadn't blown up at the Monterey Popfest), was the leader.

    If were fabulous for sure, but to me they and the other British bands with horns were doing a very different thing than the American groups, more reeds and keyboards and prog and cerebral, less brass and flash and bluster, so there isn't a direct comparison to really be made. Dick Morrissey had apparently been a well-respected jazz sax player in England prior to forming If. Anything our friends from there can add about Morrissey, especially his pre-If work, would be greatly appreciated.

    How in the hell did this become a hit in the first place?

    Horn Band Mania! A brief moment in the evolution of American Popular Music, lasting roughly from when BS&T hit big thru about the time Elton John hit big.

    Brought to us by Al Kooper, 'Child is Father To The Man' is the first (and one of the best) I remember in the genre.

    "Get It On" reached #1 on the charts, IIRC. HUGE hit, although the vilely revisionist toadies of "oldies radios" would rather you not know that...

    I have the first album and always liked it. But then I also like the first seven Chicago albums, the first five Blood, Sweat, and Tears albums, both Ides of March ("Vehicle") albums, Sons of Champlin, etc.

    But he's a friend of Chuck so he can do it while others are slashed after one or two postings in this manner.......strange

    Unfair. Prove this. I haven't deleted any posts.

    I have had business dealings (sold to) with Tom for a number of years and he pays his bills. Never met him. Please don't add any other baggage to that relationship or the board. I do find it "unseemly" he only posts sales here, but since I have taken advantage of a couple of his offers I can't bitch.

    Tom's a good guy, and I'm glad he's here. I agree that it would be nice to have him share his thoughts with us on the music, as he is certainly very knowledgeable, but I am glad he posts what he does here, and have had many good experiences exchanging CD's with him.

    Just listened to M'Boom: Live at S.O.B.'s - a very good one - someone should go for it before it's gone. Think it's o/p.

    Also Roach & Ibrahim: Streams of Consciousness is one worth getting.

    It is pretty uninspired, though I am not sure I have the Tyner, so I might get that.

    It's the closest thing to a classic CTI album Tyner ever made. Title track is pretty great.

    Sorry, didn't mean to imply the Tyner was uninspired. I meant the re-issues, as everything has been on CD once and generally several times.

    Totally agree with you. And "classic CTI album" is damning with faint praise when it comes to 70's Tyner, which was my meaning. Except for the title track, the Tyner underachieves (and is uninspired) considering what he was capable of in that period.

    Also, Verve's website claims that it was reissued a couple of years ago domestically - what's up with that?

    It was not released on CD domestically - I had beelnlooking for it for years. Maybe for download only on Verve's site, but I don't remember seeing that either (though I haven't kept current on the downloads, as I hate the concept). I had contacted Mosaic a few years ago suggesting a Hutcherson/Land set, and they had told me it was actually in the works, but obviously it has never appeared either. Probably they couldn't get the rights to the Mainstream LP's released under Land's name, I guess, though maybe this one was an/the issue.
