Strangely I find this one easier to handle than most. The first track is gross out space invaders fusion, but a lot of the rest of it is pretty good electric jazz, much better recorded than those very dry and lifeless earlier records.

I have quite a few Stanley Cowell albums. Most of them are, to my taste, very good, though a few veer off in a direction that does not appeal to me. This has a few more horn players than most of his things, and yet there are a few tracks without horns. Currently listening to: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I enjoyed Light Years the most of the earlies, but this one is maybe stronger, particularly once past the first track. I think a lot of that is down to the recording style, which is more natural and dynamic.i hate how those early records sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days when you were waiting for the next album of Sonny Rollins and when you saw him live playing you would get live renditions of just recently recorded tunes. This is one of my favourite Milestone albums of Rollins. I heard him play the "Isn´t She Lovely" shortly after that recording, with Mark Soskin, Jerome Harris and the great Al Foster. Same was after the "No Question" album with Larry Corryell, just great times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very good -- at times excellent -- but not a typical jazz record. I understand that Trovaioli was primarily a film composer (although Rugantino was a live show), and you can tell. I imagine that anyone who enjoys Pieranunzi's take on Morricone's or Fellini's music would like it. (I do.) But this is a shade more arranged than those albums.
