Bass sound is very 80s but drums, obviously, and woodwinds are strong. Bizarre vocal on 'Fever' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I bought it during an open air jazz festival were they sold records during intermission. They had more obscure labels, like this one. That great group ! And maybe this was the beginning of Shepps return from totally free to more straight ahead forms like "Blues for Donald Duck" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth Shepp was playing straight-ahead throughout his career, left and right/up and down, and most of his LPs include at least one tune in a more standard vein.

I wonder if it's one of those red LED watches where you have to push the button to turn it on or an early LCD where there was a button to turn on a light behind it?

Yeah, I remember how digital watches kept getting bigger and BIGGER. Eventually, lots of them had calculators with full numerical keypads built in. Man, they were so ugly. ... MUCH worse than the one Paquito's wearing. Now spinning: Edited May 17, 2021 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has a theory that the late seventies through early 90s, starting with VSOP, was the wristwatch jazz / rolex jazz era. I'm not sure what the characteristics of the Rolex jazz genre are, but, since he pointed it out, I have had to concede that he has a point.

I think more in the sense that a lot of live footage and cover artwork prominently features very chunky and expensive luxury wristwatches accidentally in shot.

Also, it seems like, beginning in the 80s, jazz came to be very much associated with "upscale" stuff -- more than it had been in the past. A sort of cultural signifier for "classy shit." And watches would be one example of that. Associate your watch with jazz and ergo you have a classy, sophisticated watch. All marketing nonsense, of course.
