JSngry Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 The Rhames/Rahied Ali release on Ayler Records makes a nice complement to the DIW. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 This guy was a MF on guitar too - folks I know who saw him play have compared him with McLaughlin - but these ones mentioned are just tenor (and some piano on the Rashied Ali), right? Mike Quote
JSngry Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Right. But I have to say - as impressive as he was, I'm not sure that I get a sense of "core" from his playing. Incredible virtuosity, intense passion, but as far as a deep sense of "who he was", other than an intense virtuoso, I dunno... No slight meant, either. Such matters are a "dilemma" that not everybody has to face, and the cruelty of Rhames' early demise deprived him of the chance to work through it (assuming, of course, that said dilemma actually did exist and does not exist entirely in my perception). Suffice it to say that this was one amazing raw talent that didn't get the chance to fully bloom, and that is a tragedy. Quote
JSngry Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 According to AMG, Rhames recorded on guitar on three R&B albums - two by Slave, and one by former Slave frontamn Steve Arrington. I've heard none of these (at least not recently and knowingly), but I doubt that they show Rhames' full talent, if they show him at all. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 The one AR guitar record I have is a 1978 Larry Coryell album "Difference" where Rhames and Coryell are in the company of Mike Brecker, Tony Williams, and Glen Moore. I'll have to relisten - it's been a while. Then I have the 1981 Albert Dailey record "Textures" - AR plays tenor on one tune. I think we may have just listed every issued appearance - but I'd be glad to be proven wrong on that. Mike Quote
JSngry Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 And I wonder why he was only on one tune on that Dailey side. It was certainly a strong performance. Maybe there's more in the can? Quote
