jazzbo Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) The first Yusef Lateef release I knowingly bought, back in the 'seventies. (I bought a Bird lp on Charlie Parker Records that was actually a mislabeled Yusef Lateef on that label, and when I figured out what it was I bought this two lp reissue of Impulse material.) Still sounds great. Edited June 15, 2012 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) One of those albums where you ask yourself any number of variations on the "Why?" question and you already know the answers, but...you just gotta ask anyway, just to maintain good work habits. A few ok cuts (and a few more hideous/surreal ones), but they could have made this same "type" record and made it a lot better. And it just don't sound good. Produced by George Butler, arranged by Horace Ott but my copy is the classic blue-white label, so pre-"Blue Note Hits A New Note" focused inessentiality...'nuff said. Edit to add - there's some interesting (enough) material and concepts here, but they don't happen in sync w/each other.

Spinning Art Blakey 'Free For All' (BN NY USA, mono) Clark/Boland Big Band 'Fellini 712' (French MPS, stereo). Pretty good sounding issue.

jeffcrom Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Jack DeJohnette - Special Edition (ECM). An old favorite - made a big impact on me when it came out. I hadn't spun it for awhile - still sounds pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Etta James, with Cleanhead Vinson, Jack McDuff, Red Holloway, Shuggie Otis et al. Just finished the CD of set 1 , 'Blues in the night' and had to go onto this set. MG Edit to say, I bet it's LOu DOnaldson's "Sassy soul strut" or "Sweet Lou". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ok, I'm coming around on the Joe Williams BN side, at least a little bit. It's kind of a schizo side. The parts where they're making a jazzy/MOR/R&B record for AM jazz radio end up working well enough on an individual basis. Time/place/intent/etc. That's ok. But the parts where they try to make a Jerry Vale record with Joe Williams as Jerry Vale...that's where it gets uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 A few misfires, but on the whole, a very strong album, funky and soulful and slickly produced, all in one. If you're an RC fan and don't know this one, you might want to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Nothing wrong with this one either. Ok, the vocals (lead and background" are too echoey and could be brought more forward in the mix. Apart from that, though, this is a damn fine straight-up Soul record. And if it kinda sounds like Ray's in the middle of that particular parade instead of leading it from in front, hell, whose parade is it, anyway?
