Stan,eg Turrentine - Pieces of Dreams (Fantasy, 1974)
My first ever listen to this. I’d always avoided it because it looked drippy and CTI-ish, which it certainly is, but I’m impressed at how excellent it is.
... or at least get them up on their feet and doing the Lindy Hop.
What are some jazz tunes, postwar to present, that get you our of your chair and on your feet in a second?
My nominees:
Eddie Harris - Listen Here (Obvious one)
Steve Reid - Lions of Judah
That's right. Tricky to find online, like a lot of his stuff. I think the tracks from that comp that are streamable on YT are also taken the original South African release.
Thanks. An interesting review.
I hadn't realised it was a touring group. I had it in my head that Ammons was very Chicago based, and made a record with Stitt as he passed through, then some more when that turned out to be a hit. That's the sort of "event" I'm thinking about. Similar to the example of Jacquet's famous solo on the Hampton record that you mention in that article.
