JSngry Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 Yeah, ok, it's all "commercial", but DAMN does Felder deliver the goods. Not yet available on CD, but if you see the LP somewhere for a good price, and if you like the idea of a Turrentine/Pearson-ish date transferred to the West Coast, material focused exclusively on "airplay friendly" material, and everything the length of a 45 side, with - and this is the good part - no musical compromises being made to do it (sic), then this one's for you!

JSngry Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Posted June 1, 2008 It would have been so easy for everybody involved to skate through a date like this, but they didn't. Felder on the fade of "All along The Watchtower" is channelling Ayler, Hendrix, or, possibly, both. Or else he's just doing that tenor thing. Soul-Jazz lovers, pay ye heed of this easily overlooked (if even found!) gem! Quote
king ubu Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 What's this, the film soundtrack (parts of) or a later album using themes from the score? Quote
JSngry Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 Only the theme from Bullitt, actually... Produced by Wayne Henderson; Arranged by Wayne Henderson & Wilton Felder The program: SIDE ONE 1 - Theme From Bullitt 2 - All Along The Watchtower 3 - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing 4 - Hi-Heel Sneakers 5 - The Split (a Quincy Jones theme from the movie of the same name) SIDE TWO 1 - Doing My Thing (a Wayne Henderson original) 2 - Up Here Down Below (same) 3 - Please Return Your Love To Me 4 - With A Little Help From My Friends 5 - It's Just A Game, Love (another song from The Split) Not at all an "encouraging" set list, but...

BruceH Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Sounds like it might be very fun to listen to. Quote
Shawn Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Now that's an album that DEFINITELY has me interested! (resident Pearson/Turrentine nut). Quote

ISNT LIKE JOE SAMPLE ON IT Quote
king ubu Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 sounds interesting... but pretty unlikely I'll find something like this here, alas. Quote
DMP Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 There are several good Pacific Jazz/World Pacific titles from this period that have also never been reissued - Ernie Watts, Bobby Bryant, Freddie Robinson, others I can't think of offhand - where are the Japanese when we need them? Quote
