Big Wheel Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 All I know is that it was released on Pacific Jazz in 1964. Who plays on this, and how good is the music? (And has it ever been on CD, Japan or otherwise?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Frank Strozier is on alto and flute, I believe. The title track wasn't really necessary IMO but its a solid album overall. Don't believe its been on CD anywhere, it does show up on ebay occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I have a Japanese LP reissue of that. The album looks flashy but this is an excellent date with Roy Haynes' working quartet that also recorded 'Cymbalism' for New Jazz (same quartet except that Ronnie Mathews is on piano) producing high-quality music. Strozier was an inspired soloist. Wish we could hear how he plays nowadays. And can't get enough of Roy Haynes' drumming. By the way, the engineering on the Pacific Jazz date is better than RVG's job on the New Jazz LP. The PJ date was recorded in May 1964 in LA.

Clunky Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 another for this excellent album. The titles may not sound that exciting but Frank Strozier plays then all pretty hard. A really good album. Worthy of reissue. Roy Haynes- People - Pacific Jazz (stereo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 This came out on cd in Japan a couple of months ago: http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=qthdw8gy3j&ref=browse.php&refQ=kwfilter%3Droy%2Bhaynes%26amp%3Bincl_oos%3D1%26amp%3Bincl_cs%3D1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark13 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Picked this up from the recent batch of Japanese Universal reissues - and what a nice record it is. With Roy Haynes leading the proceedings this was likely to turn out a bit more adventurous and 'in-your-face' than most regular Pacific-dates of the day, but I'm somewhat surprised by Strozier who plays with a toughness and biting edge that I did not know was there.

I saw Strozier live with Harold Mabern 50+ years ago and in the vernacular of the time it blew me away. I'd never heard of them at the time so it taught me to not just go hear your favorites. I've bought several of his records since and though I like them all nothing has reached what I heard then. I'll have to give this a try.

Both with George Coleman’s Octet, first time I ever saw that group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
