Just did some reading about this record.  Looks like one to track down. ... Thanks for the heads-up!  :) 

 

 

 

You're welcome. The two I have released after this are even better.

Just got this and it's among his best, for sure.  Only two originals, rest are covers, but the focus is very much on his guitar and vocals, with only a second guitarist + rhythm. I've heard some Delmarks with horns but this keeps it nice and clean and all Byther Smith.

I wonder if there's a CD of originals, with this type of backing. That would be awesome but this is simply very very very good.

I've been digging this lately.  It's super synth-heavy, very much a "1980s" sound.  But the sound is interesting because EVERY aspect of the music is percussion- and rhythm-oriented, even the keyboards.  The net effect is very much "in your face" music, very dense, very complex, very electronically processed.  Actually, there are aspects of this music that remind me of M-Base stuff (especially the rhythmic complexity and angularity) -- but imagine M-Base that uses Afro-Cuban musical traditions as a launching point rather than African-American ones. So, for example, there's that Cuban classical thing woven in there, like a Latin-y Joe Zawinul.  It's interesting.

I believe this is his first. He came out of the gate strong.

Oh, I have a D'Angelico, though not a New Yorker but an EXL. They were incredibly Art Deco-inspired. And I didn't know he was a guitarist. So I'll have to investigate that.

Group Everything Everything Everything - Hino’s Journey To Air

Nice to see Japanese reissue of this 1970 album originally released on
Terumasa Hino's own "Love Records." We've got Olu Dara, Dave Liebman,
Steve Grossman, Bob Moses, Steve Yellin thru his saxophone and others in
this fine 12-piece band doing their Globe Unity-type workouts over Parts I & II.

Good taste is timeless!! :tup:lol:

Well, I picked up most of the 2 cd sets that Muzak released of Black Lion and Storyville material. . . Monk, Konitz, Jackie & Roy, Sims & Brookmeyer, Webster, Gordon, Griffin. . . these sessions never sounded better imo.
