Lee Ritenour – Captain Fingers (Epic, 1977)

R-768247-1402054261-6878.jpg

Gradually coming to the conclusion that I like Lee Ritenour's stuff quite a lot. It's light pop fusion, but it never has the deadly quality of stiff rhythms or silly guitar shredding. Sort of a watered down Bill Cobham sound. Dated enough to be distant and charming. Actually nice. Doubt it appeals to 90% of listeners here.

How does this one compare to the four Minton's records, Tenor Scene, and the three "Sets", and to the Twofer with the same name?

Rab -- It's all the same music, just re-swizzled in different packages.  The Live at Minton's and The Tenor Scene CDs collect all of the music from the Minton's gig -- with the exception of a track (or maybe two) that were reissued on one of the duo's studio CD reissues.

Randy Weston - Self Portraits: The Last Day (Verve, 1990)
with Jamil Nasser (b); Idris Muhammad (d); and Eric Asante (perc)

Weston sounds terrific playing the Bösendorfer Imperial on this album.  Such DEEP resonance -- just like a massive drum.

Andrew Hill's "Passing Ships." What a great album! Kudos to all involved, including Cuscuna for rescuing it from "train wreck" pile, Dizzy Reece, Joe Farrell, Julian Priester -- everyone.

I couldn't agree more, Larry.  :tup
