Ferocious Niney genius.
Tommy McCook leads the swingeing horns, galloping east of the River Nile. Sounds like Dennis Emmanuel Brown, wailing six feet under. A jaw-dropping, no-prisoners Tubbys dub.
Red hot terror.
Cool and deadly DC, over a giddily deep re-cut of the same rhythm as Wayne Jarrett’s monumental Brimstone And Fire.
Jakob Bro, Brian Blade, Craig Taborn, Chris Cheek, Jesper Zeuthen, Anders Christensen, Larry Grenadier & Marcus Gilmore, playing compositions by Paul Motian and Jakob Bro.
The album was recorded in a single session at New York’s Power Station with engineer James Farber, following a week-long residency at the Village Vanguard.
‘Danish guitarist and composer Jakob Bro is celebrated for his pure reflective expression and penchant for celestial textures, effortlessly distilling and refining quiet sonics. At the Village Vanguard, he leads an impressive group – featuring two bassists and two drummers – for a nearly week-long residency.
‘The perfectly poised, ambient-leaning soundworld that characterizes Bro’s compositions was discomposed and distended by this octet, probing thrilling sounds and providing ample opportunity to create spontaneously. It was an exhilarating jazz night with some of the most esteemed players out there.’ (Jazztrail.net)
With the all-time, game-changing Hi-Tech Jazz. Crucial.
Superb late-eighties digi, with all the trimmings.
Al Campbell in top form at the mic; classy horns and backing vocals; rollicking rhythm; masterful, frolicsome Niney production.
Spiritualised, easy-grooving and spacious late-seventies roots. Upsetters-style woodblocks, stumpy bass, ace backing harmonies. AT himself is strikingly sincere, determined, hymnal. Jackie Mittoo had a hand in it.
Rohan Lee for his own Rainbow label in 1990. Spirited sufferers, with tasty muted trumpet and lovely, expansive harmony singing. Recorded at Channel One and mixed at Aquarius.
Tight, heartfelt, urgent sufferers. Niney when the two sevens clashed.
With Jay Jay Johnson, Art Blakey, Paul Chambers… and Horace Silver and Monk sharing piano duties, and playing together in a ten-minute version of Misterioso. Lovely mono.
The early-eighties guitars-and-electronics breakthrough, by the Ash Ra guitarist.
A real game-changer: a momentous influence on Basic Channel, Carl Craig and so many others.
Perfect for zoning out.
With the original embossing to the cover.
It’s a must.
