jazzbo Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Revisiting this masterwork that has remained on my self unlistened to too long. 150×129 2.96 KB Mental Strain at Dawn: A Modern Portrait of Louis Armstrong, cd This an exceptional recording that it is hard to believe is over thirty years old now. Exciting, in my opinion innovative, and recorded in a manner that matches the material. Every soloist seems inspired. A precursor to Allen “Wild Man Genius” Lowe’s current releases. The drums are recorded big and hot, but that’s great because the drumming is excellent. And the lack of chordal instruments gives an open air march to the feel and sound. Alto Saxophone – Allen Lowe (tracks: 1-8) Bass – Jeff Fuller, Peter Askim (tracks: 9-10) Clarinet, Bass Clarinet – Paul Austerlitz Drums – Ray Kaczynski Mixed By – Allen Lowe, Steve Wytas Recorded By – Allen Lowe (tracks: 9-10), Katsuhiko Naito (tracks: 1-8) Remix – Allen Lowe Tenor Saxophone – Allen Lowe (tracks: 9-10), David Murray (tracks: 1-8), Loren Schoenberg (tracks: 1-8) Transcription By, Arranged By – Allen Lowe Trombone – John Rapson Trumpet – Doc Cheatham (tracks: 1-8), Robert Rumbolz Tracks 1-8 recorded April 19, 1992 at the Knitting Factory, NYC. Tracks 9-10recorded October 17, 1992 in New Haven, CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 This is a really interesting release. It's easy to forget that Wilkins is still only 27 and on this album the promise of his previous releases starts to be more fully realised I feel Also, he's a very generous leader, perhaps too much so as he's nowhere near a dominant instrument voice, his compositional voice is doing the heavy lifting here Well done Blue Note for getting behind him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought every record he has made as a leader, and most of his sideman appearances. I think he's a really talented young artist.

ghost of miles Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 The Organissimo effect at work once again. I picked up this one after somebody (HutchFan, maybe?) expressed enthusiasm for it in this thread. It’s living up to the praise and reminding me once again that the answer to the question “Can one have too much live Ellington” is “not bloody likely.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
