Today we remember all the other types of records from those Last Days Of Muse, but there's a rather large number of this type by these players. Not a lot of "electricity" in the instrumentation, but still, a relatively lot of people made a relatively lot of records that were not organ/hardbop/HoustonEtta.

There are some excellent late-in-the-game Muses out there that are flying beneath the radar. Or at least they were flying below my radar. I've discovered several over the past year or so -- including The Collective -- as part of my 80s Jazz blog project explorations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Modal Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Funk exploration down the George Clinton production/writing interplanetary connection. So many hip hop samples came from these excellent records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Dwight James - Inner Heat (Cadence, 1983) Great record, with Byard Lancaster and Khan Jamal. 6 minutes ago, jazzbo said: Archie Sheep "Kwanza" Impulse Japan SHM-CD UCCI-9378 I haven't met an Archie Sheep Impulse recording I didn't like. I have a big thing for this record. It is quite silly in its own way, and puts a huge smile on my face. It is one of a few albums I play that is guaranteed to cheer me up.

Yeah, and between Cindy Blackmon & Wallace Roney, there's a decent enough amount to collate as an "output"...the Blackmons in particular shine a bit of light...not really a blinding flash, but a little light. The Roneys are essentially derivate of what everybody involved thought Wynton's bag was, but Antoine Roney's Wayne is a bit fresher than was Branford's. And so forth, there are some records there to be listened to, if only to gain a broader perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, Jack Walrath's Muse records are treeeee-mendous. And, of course, who could forget Bill Barron's!?!? There are others... but I don't want to show more of my hand.

I have a little soft spot in my head, er...heart for Blackmon's records. The unabashedly 60s Tony immersion is something I have to listen to once I get started on it. Tony himself had moved on, so it was a nice parallel nostalgia-reality. But as far as gripping you by the musicwows and not letting go, no. The most REALLY M-Base Muse records were made by Lonnie Plaxico, of all people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
