Rabshakeh Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) John Patton - Understanding (Blue Note, 1968) I never pay much mind to All music reviews, but it's treatment of this era of Patton as being simplistic "commercial" music, despite the frequent abrasive Coltrane influenced solos, really makes very little sense.

She definitely brought the flayva. Maybe there's a lost set of tapes of her doing a club date or something. I would love to hear her like that. I don't know this at all. Did she do much else? Quote

She did a thing called Bird Calls on UA (,I prefer), and a Marian McPartland all-female project in the 1980s. She also in the person who first played "I Remember Bird". A unique voice, she was. Perhaps a yon to Clean head ,Vinson's yang? Quote

jazzbo Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 Something completely different Barney Wilen "French Ballads" Quote
Dub Modal Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 This morning's listen: Spalding's Songwrights Apothecary Lab (SAL) from last year. Man, she takes her witchcraft super seriously. Ok, cool, and it's good that her creativity was supported and all because she's got to have 10 tons of confidence for this type of originality. Kudos to all that. She loves some word play for sure and the listener can sense the spilling over of intelligence on this album. Helluva bass player and composer. Formwela 8 is really the only track I enjoyed here though and it's a simple vamp with some chanting. The rest is outside of my scope but I can appreciate it. I'd definitely go see her live. Why the hell she's on the Concord label I have no idea, but I guess there's some partnership with UMG there at least in distribution. It seems like UMG should make a play to poach and put her on Impulse! or something else in their stable. Quote

HutchFan Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Bobby Hutcherson featuring Harold Land - Now! (Blue Note, 1970) Along with Land, vocalist Eugene McDaniels should have been given a "featured" billing. When I made my Hutch site (15 years ago), I rated this album 4 stars. Today, I wouldn't give it anything less than 5. ... It's strange and brilliant music that's "beyond category." Edited January 20, 2022 by HutchFan Quote
