Bill O’Connell “A Change is Gonna Come”

Bill’s playing reminds me of Herbie Hancock, not in a derivative way, just stylistically. This is a good one! I have one other of his. … need to get more.

I totally agree, Lon.  Bill O'Connell is terrific & very harmonically sophisticated -- like Herbie.

Here are some of my favorites:
- Searching (Inner City, 1978)
Black Sand (Random Chance, 2001)
- Triple Play (Savant, 2008)
Wind Off the Hudson (Savant, 2019)

1976. Remember 1976?

 

I do.  I was eight at the time.  Mrs. Norman's third grade class.  ;)

What do you think of that Szabo record, Jim?  I've never heard it.

It's ..1976. A varied program played well enough. It's probably going to the library after another listen or two.

Szabo does have his ardent adherents. They would probably not sent it to the library. It's a good band, uncredited but suggested to be George Duke, Tony Dumas, and Sherman Ferguson.

It's not bad at all. It's just...1976. Been there, done that. Those who weren't might find more appeal than I?

Quality via minimalism .... btw this was a great sounding Sony Reissue Series in 2014 ....

Found a big bag (over 70 discs) of Hip-hop discs at the entree of my flat ! 

Np 'Rigormortiz' and the grooves are incredible funky.

The cd is pretty rare, easily worth 60 euro's ! I am curious about the other discs ...
