An underated album in Herbie's vast discography. In my opinion it's one of his most original recordings, with unusal instrumentation and a laid back feel it's simply sublime. The title track is one of my favourite pieces of all time and worth the purchase price alone. Listening to this wonderful record will take you to another place.

This is an excellent tool to those players new to improvisation. I have used this book alot for my own playing as well as for teaching purposes. Popular tunes are set at sensible tempos which give the player a chance to get into the chord sequences and play around them creating effective improvisations.

Mr Bungle. With a name like that, you know its gonna be odd, or maybe humorous? Alas, the band have some cool toilet humour included. Some of the talking sections at the end of songs hit the mark, most fall flat however. I dont like the circus sections of the songs. It cheesy, plain and simple. Sometimes the record breaks down into cacophony such as #My Ass is on Fire, which I really enjoy until the 6 minute mark then it gets pointless.

However, there are some excellent songs on here, such as Slowly Growing Deaf, Carousel (which reminds me a bit of Madness when Pattons voice kicks in), The Girls of Porn (extremely humorous lyrics) and Quote Unquote.

They are definately unfocused on a lot of these songs however. I ... Read More:

By the time of the recordings of these pieces in 1967 John Coltrane was travelling farther and father out into the musical hinterland of free jazz. This set of recordings with drummer Rashid Ali is about as far as you can get. The music here is wild and powerful and at times violent as Ali and Coltrane at times seem to battle for the space in the music.

This is improvisation of the first order. Coltrane's playing squawks, honks, runs, and stutters its way around the clattering cachophony of Ali's frenetic drumming. Easy listening it isn't. It does seem to be a statement and it is fascinating to wonder where Coltrane would have gone next with his music beacuase listening to this you sometimes conclude that this was something of a final ...

I recently wrote a review of "Sweetnighter" which I consider a bona fide classic album. Reminded me to revisit this old favourite. And it is, simply, terrific. Although Wayne Shorter is still producing great music, this is easily my favourite album. The sheer "bite" or agressiveness in the playing and that kinda setting your teeth on edge tone that I love with some guitar work (e.g. "Zuma") are here in abundance. The quality of the playing and composition is, to my ears, superb. Great to hear a couple of alternative takes, which are well worth having in their own right, though the preferred takes are probably better, and which give you an insight into how much was "written" and how much was improvised. They also show you the level of inventiveness in these ... Read More:

This album is the quintessential dinner jazz album. Forget all those lame Best of Jazz compilations. Jobim's original Bossa Nova tracks are the only option for the smoothest, most elegant and sensual songs that everyone in the room can kick back to.
