I actually can't find my LP of it for some reason. Listened to some tracks online and it looks like both "Coral Rock" and "Invitation" are the same tune, at least on the CD (and both sound like Blasé to me). The only quartet tune is a ragged "Worried About You." This jibes with what I remember - probably haven't listened to the album in about a decade. I really like mid 60's-mid 70's Shepp, but "Doodlin'" is a waste. Always has sounded to me like it was just some sort of rehearsal tape rather than anything that was ever intended to be released. But if Shepp playing "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "Invitation" unrehearsded on piano sounds invigorating to you, have at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I did buy a nice Japanese Overseas copy of this album (with different cover art than the US Inner City release) and it's a fun little record. Not desert island material by any means, but I"m glad it exists, fleshing out the ensemble take of "I Should Care" on the B side of Coral Rock.

JSngry Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I always enjoy hearing people like Shepp, Mingus, anybody who has a ensemble/compositional "vision" play piano. Not often, and certainly not regularly, but I do like hearing how they put it out on piano, providing that they have some skill set on the instrument.

Daniel A Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Alan's last recording was with the Clarke-Boland big band? Would never have guessed that. I have the "Parabolic" release of his Verve album. The liner notes say: "The existence of this very album, originally recorded for the Verve label at the close of the Sixties, has long been a topic for discussion among discographers. This, its first appearance anywhere, should disappoint no-one interested in the progress of a very distinctive musician. Remember: it's taken several years to get this album onto your turntables, and it might be even longer before the next." ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Unbelievable ! I still have quite a few of those Kay Jazz videos but not that one. John Jeremy is one of the guys who ran Kay Jazz I think. Headquartered in Frome, Somerset. Not sure who I am more shocked by recording with the CBBB. Shorter or Lol Coxhill !

sidewinder Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Some mention of Shorter in that film here, but no mention of CBBB. https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/41729/page/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Sounds like Verve is reissuing Alan Shorter's Orgasm, on gold vinyl for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
