freeform83 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 "Funk Underneath" -- Jack McDuff and Roland Kirk from Kirk's Work -- in a soulful context "Chitlins con Carne" -- John Patton and Harold Alexander from Understanding "B&J (Two Sisters)" -- John Patton and Harold Alexander from Boogaloo "Falaq" -- James Spaulding and Larry Young from Of Love and Peace -- a beautiful and Zen-like moment of grace amidst an otherwise tumultuous track, surprised it hasn't been sampled by someone like DJ Krush Just for the record, I love the combination of the organ's "heaviness" with the delicate sounds of the flute, a tricky juxtaposition that I wish were explored on more organ records.

Niko Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 don't know much Flute with Organ, but one that i like a lot is Seldon Powell on some tracks of Johnny Hammond Smith's Open House Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm playing, at this very moment Charles Kynard & Buddy Colette - Warm winds - World Pacific WP1823 mono Buddy is on flute throughout. Very nice album - not over-greasy, but nice stuff. Lots of lLatin percussion. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Don't forget about the mighty Jerome Richardson, who helped popularize the flute with tenor combo. One of my favorite players, incredibly underrated. He also spars some inventive duals on tenor with Lockjaw scattered throughout these records.

mikeweil Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) Neither your typical organ nor a typical flute record: Harold McNair's "The Fence". There is organ and piano in the rhythm section, and he plays flute on some tracks - the sound combination obviously left some imprint in my memory.

freeform83 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) Neither your typical organ nor a typical flute record: Harold McNair's "The Fence". There is organ and paino in the rhythm section, and he plays flute on some tracks - the sound combination obviously left some imprint in my memory. Harold McNair played on several Donovan records in the 60s. It seems worth mentioning that Donovan was the first musician I was ever heavily, obsessively into -- around the time I was in 8th grade -- and I still consider him very underrated to this day. Most people associate him with "Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow" without realizing that those songs represent only a small part of his sound: On his best albums (e.g. Hurdy Gurdy Man) he mixed Celtic folk with world sounds and an experimental edge, for something that really holds up surprisingly well. Anyway, I know I connected with some of McNair's contributions at the time, and now that I think about it, my interest in this organ-flute sound combination actually dates back to Donovan (and the Incredible String Band)! I would love to hear The Fence, thanks for the rec. Edited July 4, 2007 by freeform83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeform83 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I dig Ed Sullivan. Did Donovan ever do his show? Did I violate some unwritten rule by writing about Donovan? Back to the original subject: "My Funny Valentine" -- Jack McDuff and Yusef Lateef on Grant Green's Grantstand -- on the more soulful side of things "Air" -- Herbie Hancock and James Spaulding on Bobby Hutcherson's Components -- on the avant-garde side, and Herbie is using the organ more for coloration than anything else "The Call of the Wild" -- David Newman and Lonnie Smith on Think! -- again, this really only applies to the atmospheric opening and closing sections, but I really like this track and it reminds me of later sample-based tracks for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I dig Lonnie's version of "Sunshine Superman" on Move your Hand. Eric Kloss also has a really funky version of this tune, with Chick Corea, Pat Martino, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. Jack is just great on this tune.

Shawn Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 It appears to be on the Prestige album Consciousness! which isn't on CD (at least as far as I can tell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one combines To Hear Is to See with Consciousness. Both have the Corea/Holland/DeJohnette rhythm section, thus the title of the compulation.
