John Mayer's Indo-Jazz Fusions With Larry Adler – Indo Jazz Fusions

I never really thought of Stan Sulzmann before, although I've seen his name on a number of British jazz records from the era. Did he have any good leader dates?

Good question. I have many recordings with Sulzmann, but none with him as leader.

Noticed this at Jazz in Britain but didn't purchase. Will listen online today(? or at least soon).

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Mike.  I've never heard it, and I'm going to check it out.

A career much more as a sideman than leader. Lovely player, he's still very much about. I used to see him regualrly in Kenny Wheeler bands.  This is good from around that time, if I remember correctly

and earlier. 

I'm sure @sidewinder will be able to provide a better overview

Thanks! Those look really interesting records. This Mayer is the closest I've heard of him to a leader so it was interesting to hear. I'll dive in.

It's really good.  Admittedly, I'd forgotten all about it until I was looking at my High Note CDs yesterday but I'll be sure to add it to my heavy rotation.

NP:

I really dig this music, but my Schema-Rearward CD reissue sounds very hard and congested.  Everything feels overdriven, recording-wise.  I realize that this is blaring, LOUD music -- but the recording seems to accentuate that aspect of it.  It's distracting (to me, at least).  

Of course, it might just be my ears.  Or I could be bumping up against limitations in my (old-but-trusty) stereo system.

So I'm curious:  Does anyone have this album on LP?  Or, for that matter, the Schema-Rearward CD?  If so, does it sound that way to you too?

Well  I have the same CD edition but cant remember if there was an issue with the sound. So I will play it again within the coming days and will comment on  your analysis.

I guess I will never be the BIGGEST Carmen McRae fan. But I like some things here more than I expected.
