Chuck Nessa Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Ellington at Grinnell. About 6 years later I heard the Dizzy Gillespie quintet in the same hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is excellent, as on all of Night Dreamer's records. If you don't have it, I would look for Knoel Scott Live in Alaska, which I bought from him at a posthumous Sun Ra Arkestra concert, as it is quite good. Thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound rather dated, particularly the electric keys. I really enjoy his later Blue Note recordings much more than these 2. In particular, I think Sonny is a better sax player than a flute player, so "Awakening" rarely sees the turntable.

And while I do think "Waves Of Dreams" is much better than the "Awakening", it still has a couple of tunes that just didn't click with me.

That's cool. We all pursue the music that appeals to our ears. I happen to enjoy instruments like the Fender Rhodes piano, clavinets, electric basses, or whatever in jazz -- as long as the music is good. Of course, I wouldn't want to hear it all the time. . . but that 70s-electric jazz sound -- like on Waves of Dreams -- appeals to me a great deal & doesn't sound dated to me at all. OTOH, I know there are plenty of folks who have an aversion to any electric instruments. I can't say that I "get" that, ear-wise. But I understand that some (maybe even most?) jazz-lovers have that perspective. In fact, that's probably why the Blue Note sound from the 50s and 60s continues be most folks' idea of what jazz is "supposed" to sound like. And that's why BN reissue programs continue -- and why Sonny Fortune LPs from the 70s are available in the used bins for peanuts.

I think I bought both of these Sonny Fortune Horizon LPs for a dollar. There were often multiple copies in that $1 bin at Stereo Jacks.

JSngry Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Waves Of Dreams is gem for me. I took off "Seeing Beyond The Obvious" to play with my group at the time. I like the electric piano. Very much of it's time, unlike the "retreat" back to conventional instrumentation (and to a certain extent, repertoire). Having said that, I have been more or less all in on Sonny Fortune over the years. But those Horizon records with Charles Sullivan, that's some real time music right there.

Have the Horizon lps *ever* been on CD? Discogs says not. Shame, but will add "Waves ..." to to "to spin" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
