Agreed—I’ve been revisiting and reassessing the albums that led up to The Majesty Of The Blues, which seems to me like a turning point, where he goes all-in on Crouch revivalism. Black Codes is generally cited as the standout from his 80s period, but I’d put J Mood right up there with it. Quote

Excellent! The Bennie Wallace album must have been around 1980. It was very much discussed here in Vienna, it´s top musicians, and it was spinned very often in that fancy old jazzclub "Spelunke" which we had. When there was not live music (anyway, you could play live only from 19.00 - 22.00 because it was an old building and other families had their appartments there), they spinned all those fine records, and we the regulars sittin at the bar discussed the music , just wonderful.

JSngry Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Posted October 22, 2021 (almost) Universally reviled, and I get that, but...the energy that this band puts into these charts (only one by Ellis!) is quite real...although what the quality of that energy is...not sure about that. But geez this is one big ball of burning odd-meter fuquitousness, aimed at....something. A lot of energy, and produced by Teo Macero. If the aim was to get radio play, I'm reminded of the first time I heard the Ronettes record of "I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine":, it was like, GOOD GOD, that is so NOT going to get on the radio, it will scare people in the kind of way that people don't like to get sacred.

Experiencing them all in real time I was relatively enthusiastic about the former, retro tho it was. but when J Moods came out I was like, is this all this guy is going to do, play these emotionally detached attempts at signifying some sort of "attitude" instead of showing some real voice? And then...no he was going do more, but it was certainly less... Quote
