The tune title "A Wetback on the Left Bank" sticks in my mind. As I recall, this unkind remark relates to drummer Chuck Flores. 1 hour ago, EKE BBB said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basic that I only realised a couple of weeks ago that he's a different person to Fred Frith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This concert is released on 2 different labels & vinyls My favorite is their interpretation "I'm forever blowing bubbles" with great supporting artists. Both LP's highly recommended Thanks for the heads-up, jazzcorner.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Composers Workshop Ensemble with Warren Smith – Composers Workshop Ensemble (Strata-East, 1973) A Strata East record that I don't really know at all and am listening to for the first time. I was expecting some sort of Michael Mantler or European 60s art school thing, just from the name, but it's not that at all. It's quite interesting stuff - to my ears it sounds like it revisits some of that lost school of hard boppers like Gryce/Byrd or Golson: larger sized groups, playing very heavily arranged happy hard bop with interesting front line combinations and an emphasis on memorable tunes. I've always had a soft spot for that era, and am enjoying this. The record has quite a bit of recognisable talent: Howard Johnson, Julius Watkins and Johnny Coles are on it. But I've never heard of the rest, including drummer Warren Smith, who seems to be the leader. Does anyone know anything about it?

JSngry Posted March 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 That record has escaped my attention! Warren Smith has been prolific over the years, but he's one of these "hiding in plain sight" type of guys. Seek and ye shall find! Herb Bushler was on a LOT of records in the 70s...no idea where he went. He played a lot of electric at a time where not that mayny jazz players did. Jack Jeffers seems to have worked mostly as a section player, but he's another on who turns up on a fair number of records in that capacity. Same thing with Al Gibbons. It seems like this group of players was at least in part floating in the same orbit as Gil Evans' early-mid 70s bands. Heady times, heady band.

Rabshakeh Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Thanks for the info. It's worth checking out. It is also quite distinct in putting a lot of emphasis on the bass horns: much more low end than you normally expect to hear in jazz from before the 1980s.

JSngry Posted March 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 There's a lot there...not the least of which is almost moving the Louvin Brothers to Jamaica. Do you think that anybody had any idea about any of that? Same thing with this one and "country rock" Debbe's voice touches me in a place I don't want to understand....
