JSngry Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Larry Ridley gives the first EW&F album 5 Stars, Bill Cole is all over the place covering the new New , Dan Morgenstern reviews the last album of a legend, and ads, ads, ads. What struck me most about the reviews in this issue, more than in otehr issues I've looked at over the years, is how many of these records people still dig and discuss today. It was indeed a fertile time, and its reverberations continue. Quote
Head Man Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 All **** or ***** stars..... did they never give any BAD reviews? Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Posted June 1, 2015 Sure they did (and this is the same issue as the infamous Phill Woods BFT shitting on Braxton. But out of those records, ARE there any bad ones? Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah, ok, here. Phil Woods give a bad review to Anthony Braxton. Mr. Woods' opinion was neither warmly nor universally recived then, or now. Quote

Your point is one of the ideas that I hope to put across in my book: Jazz in the 1970s is the beginning of jazz as we know it today. Edited June 1, 2015 by HutchFan Quote
