    PHAROAH SANDERS | IZIPHO ZAM_MY GIFTS | STRATA_EAST | 1969 | US PROMO STEREO PRESSING SES_19733 LP

    Need some distraction from all the flood, destruction and clearing work in my hometown, so I decided to work on some pictures of a record I admittedly took some time getting into; I was kinda turned off by the 28 minutes behemoth of a track on Side B. But repeated listening paid off; the standout track on this album is "Balance", a phenomenal spiritual jazz monster with extremely cool and menacing tuba sounds from Howard Johnson. The line-up is pretty much the best you could hope for, with two of my favourite bassists (McBee and Sirone) and Sonny Sharrock on guitar. "Prince of Peace", later re-recorded for "Jewels of Thought" (on Impulse) as "Um-Allah" is quite raw and less accessible than the later version, but if I had to choose between both, I'd take this one, just for the exceptional playing by the rhythm section by the end of the track.

    MAX ROACH | MEMBERS, DON'T GIT WEARY | ATLANTIC | 1968 | US PROMO STEREO PRESSING SD 1510 LP

    Max Roach gathered the founding members and regulars of the Strata-East label on "Members, Don't Git Weary", which - at least to some extent - is the unofficial blueprint for dozens of albums labeled as "Spiritual Jazz" (in all honesty, I am starting to hate that term) to follow in the late 60's and 70's.

    This music is all new to me and i pushed the button thanks to you good folks chatting about here on SHFs some time back ...too far back for me to remember exactly who ...but as i read comments here i add things to a list then find them to give a quick listen then add them to a buy list and what do you know sometime ..often months i have the album

    ...this time due to budget (too much already committed for TPs, BN Classic Reissues, Verve Acoustic Sounds Series, SAM Records) its the cd, as i haven't heard the record not sure how much i'm missing as this cd sounds great on my system this morning.

    I wrote this on discogs

    ....Fabulous music and a piece of history to-boot, the 16 page booklet including the retrospective article by Bob Blumethal adds to our knowledge of this important live recording captured here as it includes the only known recordings of Getz playing "It's All Right With Me", "Yesterday's Gardenias" and "52 Street Theme" along with his first recording of "It's You Or No One".

    The band here is a strong one and should or could of gone on to a long and successful career, but by year end it would be disbanded as Getz collaborated with guitarist Charlie Byrd and that led to "Jazz Samba" and we know what happened after that. This album gives a glimpse of where Getz was and where he could of gone if he'd of taken a different path and if only for that it's worth owning, not withstanding the superb music that's on this album.

    In summary if you like live jazz and sax then get this album you will be transported to a different place and time being sat in the Village gate in Nov 1961 which to my ears and thinking is a lovely place to be, albeit i'm far too young to of been there any other way.

    CAMINHO DE CASA - HERBIE MANN (Chesky) CD

    Bass – Paul Socolow / Drums – Ricky Sebastian / Flute & Alto Flute – Herbie Mann / Guitar – Romero Lubambo / Percussion – Café / Piano – Eduardo Simon | Mark Soskin

    Recorded 1990


    Only just heard this album and initial impressions are I enjoyed some of it, but most of it sounded like it lacked direction. Hopefully I'll change my opinon for the better after a few more hearings.

    BILL EVANS | SOME OTHER TIME | THE LOST SESSION FROM THE BLACK FOREST with EDDIE GOMEZ and JACK DeJOHNETTE (Resonance) 2CD

    Recorded 1968.

    There have been a glut of Bill Evans releases recently (which I can't keep up with) so I thought it was as good a time as any to give this fine double album another hearing.
