Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 When you really enjoy baritone saxophone, having three of them has to be better, right? It's actually a very enjoyable recording. Nothing earth shattering but I think that having Farnsworth on the drums helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 This is the first cd reissue of one of my favorite albums from the 'seventies, originally released in the US on Cobblestone. Great, wild music. Hermeto Pascoal, “Hermeto”  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesnik Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 The original soundtrack to a surf movie. But it showcases Billy Bean a lot. Plus the wonderful rhythm section of Gary Peacock and Chuck Flores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the art and documentation, apart from a few words, are in Japanese so I can't say a lot of substance. I can piece together the constituent albums (covers are given in the booklet), but can't go anywhere on track titles without a whole lot more work. Disc 1 is all jazz, I only have one tune (#8) on previously acquired recording, it's a nice compilation with a bunch of styles: some straight-ahead (one vocal), some fusion, some free. The apparent cult favorite Aya's Samba album is represented, not sure if it's the title tune (see above). Based on a couple of listens, the disc is rather good. Disc 2 was a complete shot in the dark. Mostly pop or rock of some type, lots of vocals, one mainly electronic selection, one electric blues. Definitely interesting, I like it more than expected. Fortunately no discernible techno/disco/boy band material. Overall a pretty cool set. I'm happy with the purchase, spent $20 + (domestic US) shipping and don't begrudge the money. I'd say that disc 2 and the compilation nature of disc 1 (8 tunes by different groups, which I find a bit tough to wrap my head around) limit the amount one would pay for it. If you can find it on a streaming site*, definitely take a listen! *Some pretty obscure Japanese titles on the "Aketa's Disk" label seem to be on Apple Music; I dunno about "Johnny's Disk", but maybe...

And so good to have such a trove of Scott with George Coleman. Three vocals from Ernie Andrews as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
