Rhino's expansive survey of the controversial genre that dominated late-70's popular music. Picked up this 4-CD set for $15, and am taking a stroll down memory lane, back to my early 20's. This box has it all: the good (and occasionally great), the bad, and the ugly. And despite being criticized as being stiff and mechanical back in the day, this stuff sounds so organic and funky and human (why, even real drummers, percussionists, and bass players rather than machines) when compared to what pop "music" is today.

If you like 'Vista', you'll find this album to be excellent. Thanks for your kind words on my offbeat selections. I'll look to include more next year.

Not Brackeen. Not a pianist I am really familiar with ,but very good on this album. The alto player is the only big name. Not Braxton.

Yes, well done on #9, didn't expect anyone to get that one! #3 not Lake.

Yes! To all: 3,4,5,9. and 10 still need ID's! Good luck on a couple of them, but the other three are quite doable.

Yes it is Bowen! Rest of the ID becomes pretty easy now.

Yes!

Correct on the composition! Not Moore, but same era (a few years younger than Moore).

Not 'To Kill A Brick', though it is a Shaw composition. Not Goldings, not Weiss. Tenor player is the leader.

Group and album are correct, and it's a gem! Song ID is incorrect.

Not Dolphy!

Those and 'Let My Children Hear Music', totally with you.

Season 2 of the original Twilight Zone. Working through all five seasons, then onto the three subsequent reboots.

That is the correct album. You're correct, thanks!

Close, but not exactly. Earlier than the full Changes band.

Mine contains all of that and some more (mainly chatter, but a few songs also), in better remastered sound.

No, not Murray, slightly earlier vintage. Still, credit where credit is due. I constantly fail to ID BFT cuts I have on my shelves!

Correct! The Crawlers were actually the dancers who worked live with Cash, who was a dancer. KQV in Pittsburgh credited the record to Alvin Cash and the Crawlers back in the day. I believe the Registers were the musicians.

Sax on #3 is USA born and bred. And not terribly obscure.
