Griff & Lock: Tough Tenors

It's easy for me to understand why this band was never a commercial success - not enough variety in the music - tenor solo after tenor solo.

Funny. I could listen to those guys play all day. 

"Different strokes" and all that.

A never before released recording from Pascoal from '76. Wow.

I respectfully disagree with my fellow travellers who say that Curtis Fuller "phones it in" on this date. He sounds fine to me. Always has.

Yes. . . though I'm not as crazy about any of Fuller's playing as I was yeas ago he's inspired on this date.

This is, of course, a tongue-in-cheek comment, isn't it?

Fun record, as is the next one. I was working for Delmark when we bought the Transition tapes. I remember taking the tape reels to Bob Koester's apartment (one block away) to play them on Bob's Crown recorder. They were beautifully recorded for the time. Sound of Joy is dandy too.

Thanks. It so happens that Sound of Joy is now playing, and both are delightful. I just purchased the discs from Stefan W. on this forum. In the process of discovering Ra (was always put off by the huge volume and variety of recordings), and greatly enjoy what I've heard so far.
