ghost of miles Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 A title meant as a riposte to the terrible book by Eric Nisenson (RIP, BTW). Also featuring Gary Bartz & Billy Harper. I haven't heard Thompson's first two Africa/Brass recordings, but this one's sounding good in the headphones so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Good stuff. Not quite what I was expecting/hoping for in terms of input from Bartz and Harper, but still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I think I have both of the early ones, and they are GOOD. Maybe better than GOOD. Going to have to look into this new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Good stuff. Not quite what I was expecting/hoping for in terms of input from Bartz and Harper, but still good. Jim, are their contributions more straightahead than what you'd expect? I have to confess I haven't kept up with either's work in recent years...

JSngry Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 A little more restrained and a lot less frequent. But not cause for complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdd Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Got this. OK at best to me. A couple of tracks stand out but the rest is kind of ho-hum. Bartz and Harper both sound good when they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Got this. OK at best to me. A couple of tracks stand out but the rest is kind of ho-hum. Bartz and Harper both sound good when they play. That pretty much sums up the way that I feel about this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
