Anyway ... looks like an interesting item to look out for ... Yes looks like derived from Jim Flora. Music is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 This is my favourite Don Byas album. It´s a fantastic experience to hear this vintage bebop set with the sound of Don Byas. And he doesn´t just play the bop themes, he creates his own brand of bop solos with his very individual sound and phrasings. On "Antrophology" he even quotes Bud´s "Wail". The rhythm section is also very fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bohanon Quartet – Boss:Bossa Nova it's a quintet actually, Joe Messina (g), Kirk Lightsey (p), Cecil McBee (b) and George Goldsmith (dr), maybe some additional percussion on some tracks...

Agreed, it took me too many years to fully appreciate it for the masterpiece that it is. Quintessentially English, is how I hear ot now, steeped in a tradition of English romanticism (although I may be guilty of overthinking it 😀). And yes, Norma's voice is very special. I remember hearing her live for the first time at one of Kenny Wheeler's birthday concerts (the one released by ECM) and being completely knocked out.

Quintessentially English, is how I hear ot now, steeped in a tradition of English romanticism (although I may be guilty of overthinking it 😀). I totally agree, and -- from my point of view -- you're not overthinking it at all. I think it's an important record -- a prime, early example of jazz that doesn't try to sound American/African-American. As you say, Garrick completely embraces his English-ness. As such, I consider The Heart is a Lotus -- and similar albums like it from around the same time -- to be a BIG DEAL, an evolutionary step in the history of the music. Winstone has talked about this quite a bit. She said that Garrick gave her "permission" to sing without an American accent, using her natural voice. Of course, this step wasn't just one artist or one album. But I think Garrick's music is probably a perfect example of a larger trend.

sidewinder Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Strut reissue. There have been quite a few bootlegs of this one out there but this Strut issue is apparently authorised. Sounds as good as can be expected too, no doubt better than what was originally put out on Saturn. The Saturn original was apparently in quadraphonic ! Another fine issue by Strut.
