JSngry Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Posted June 21, 2022 aka The CD liner notes paint the picture of Batin as a kind of mysterious shadow figure, a guy who is hard to be seen or found unless and until he decides to be, but hell, look at this band. No mysteries there, and they are all coming to play, John Hicks especially. So, mystery man or not, this music is obviously the/a real deal. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted June 21, 2022 Report Posted June 21, 2022 Freddie Hubbard - Windjammer I hadn't listened to this before. It's... not that bad? I was expecting Jackie McLean's Monuments, but this is actually 1/3 of a good disco record.

I've been listening to a fair bit of Schif today, but mostly his arrangements (The Cat) and original records (Black Widow, and de Sade). I don't know the Soundtracks that well, though. Quote

Expand Did you know "The Cat" comes from an early Schifrin score to the French film Les Felins, with Alain Delon and Jane Fonda? Check this out! You can't go wrong with three of his classics: Bullitt, Enter the Dragon, and Dirty Harry. If you spring for Bullitt, I would get the FSM release, which includes both the film and album versions. For Dirty Harry, I would go with the first film, available from Schifrin's label Aleph. There is also a Dirty Harry Anthology that you may be able to find inexpensively. Cool Hand Luke is very highly regarded, but while I like it in the context of the film, it is not one that I reach for. The Hellstrom Chronicles is another I love. It is fairly all-over-the-map stylistically that delirious early-70s way, ranging from atonal symphonic, to jazz, to Bossa, and everything else. There are others that are excellent but were released only in limited edition formats. These include The President's Analyst and The Liquidator. Finally, his TV "soundtracks" for Mission: Impossible and Mannix are excellent, but these are really more tie-ins than actual soundtracks. Quote
JSngry Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Posted June 21, 2022 Not at all immediately overwhelming, but it's got a helluva lot of staying power for me, maybe because there's no over... ANYTHING. Larry Goldings is a real treat here, but so is Lew Soloff, who between this band and his time with Gil Evans proved to be some kind of stealth MVP. Also...Gary Valente! If every band needs a Bill Harris (and they don't), then here was the one for this one. Quote
