Chrome Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I got a catalog in the mail the other day from the record company Sundazed, and among their offerings is a disc called "Peaceful World" from the Rascals, who I only know as a late '60s rock band. Any way, among the players on this disc are: Pepper Adams - Bass (Vocal), Sax (Baritone) Ron Carter - Bass Hubert Laws - Flute Joe Newman - Trumpet Chuck Rainey - Bass Ernie Royal - Trumpet Alice Coltrane - Harp Has anyone heard of this CD before or have any feedback about it?

BFrank Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I never realized that all those folks were on that album. I think I had it at one point in the early 70's. I remember that there was a "jazz angle" to it, but I probably didn't 'get it' at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 They did a double lp which I believed also featured some of these folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I vaguely remember those Rascals sides. There were two with a strong "jazz" flavor, as I recall. The other one was "Isle Of Rael", or something like that. They were done for Columbia, after they had left Atlantic. As I remember them, they were pretty interesting, semi-"spiritual" in nature, and not at all bad. Sort of "jazz-y/rock-y/soul-y". Don't know if I'd call them "successful", not as I remember them, but "interesting" rings a bell fersure. I'd like to revisit them. How much they selling for?

chris olivarez Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 The album I was thinking of was "Freedom Suite" which appears to be OOP. However "Island of Real" can be had through CD Universe for 10.09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Check that "Freedom Suite" is available as part of an obscenely priced Rascals box set on the Rhino Handmade label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think "Peaceful World" was originally a 2LP set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted January 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Regarding the prices ... the catalog has already disappeared into the void ... I'm sure they're online somewhere ... probably www.sundazed.com. Anyhow, they were definitely under $15 a disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 That's the right URL. They have "Island of Real" and "Peaceful World" CDs for $12.98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
