Rabshakeh Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Grover Washington, Jr. – Soul Box Vol.1 (Kudu, 1973) A real statement, despite being wildly uneven. I really think that kids getting into jazz get a whole lot out of this era of Washington's music. I'm still upset to see the sneers that his music receives from some areas of the jazz establishment.

jazzbo Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I love this set; the edits don't bother me. Sound is great! Now listening to disc 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I used to disregard Andy Shppard, but no, having listened to a sort of Carl Bley immersion, it seems that he has become a Charlie rouse to a Carla Bley Monk. This is totally splendid quartet record, Few groups achieve this level of integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Now: Yusef Lateef - Hush 'N' Thunder (Atlantic, 1972) More powerful and strange (in the best sense) than I remember from previous listens. It's hittin' me hard today. Up next, more YL: Yusef Lateef - The Doctor Is In ... and Out (Atlantic, 1976) 4 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Grover Washington, Jr. – Soul Box Vol.1 (Kudu, 1973) A real statement, despite being wildly uneven. I really think that kids getting into jazz get a whole lot out of this era of Washington's music. I'm still upset to see the sneers that his music receives from some areas of the jazz establishment. You could probably say the same thing about these Lateef albums from the Seventies. But that's all finally being re-assessed and re-contextualized, I think. Like my 20-something year-old son says, most (interesting) music today is postmodern and "post-genre." So the old boundary lines that folks used to get hung up on mean even less now than they did then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 8 LP French reissues "Bird On Verve" from the mid eighties. Great cover, great sound and the personnel is always listed. I still have to purchase the fifth volume. 3 hours ago, BillF said: Now playing: (Penny dropped long ago.) Great one!

Just a strange sprawling statement for something released on Kudu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
