That LP was my introduction to Luckey Roberts. It is a shame that he did relatively little recording as a solo pianist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame that he did relatively little recording as a solo pianist. Thanks be it was so well-recorded by David B. Hancock. Unless I'm mistaken, not too many pianists of this style and vintage had the good fortune to be captured with such fidelity when they were still in their prime, as Luckey seems to me to be here at age 65. And what a composer as well as player he was! Check out the very modern "Inner Space," for one -- there's a forecast of Monk in there -- (unfortunately "Inner Space" doesn't seem to be on You Tube), "Railroad Blues," and the dazzling "Nothin'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy Gunter Hampel - The 8th of July 1969 There are so many interconnected records from 1969 by players like Gunter Hampel, Marion Brown and Jeanne Lee. Did they form a touring group along the lines of Archie Shepp's North African visit group, the AEC, Frank Wright or CCC? Or was it just chance and chemistry that led them to record so many together?

Hampel certainly had a stable of players he called upon and many of his bands were transatlantic. I think Hampel's catalogue is one of the most consistent and underappreciated of his era. And until recently he was still knocking them out, often featuring his and Lee's daughter in Lee's place. Hampel doesn't make bad albums as far as I'm concerned.any good ones, some great and some average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enthusiastically reviewed "The 8th of July 1969" for Downbeat back in the day. Years later I got a nice note of thanks plus a DVD of Willem Breuker in action from bassist Arjen Gortner.

Which of his albums are your favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
