Big band jazz funk!.......2002-10-03
real pity that...
Anyway what we have here is a cross section of the moodier pieces and funky pieces which doesn't quite come off but when you see what else is available by this band on CD you just gotta be grateful for even a slither of the funky stuff.
highlights for me are the tracks from the Hip Walk LP from 76 where they persued a smoother kind of sound which still sounds unsurpassed in terms opf sound quality and colour.. Hip Walk, Butterfly and Jive Samba are just simply wonderful tracks amongst the best that 70s fusion had to offer.
The funkiest track on here is with out a doubt Corean Chick which sounds nothing like Chick Corea funnily enough but is hellishly funky with some nice fender rhodes comping and insidious moog basslines... (now if they'd only included the unbelievably funky Catfish..!)
Probably the best track on here is the 15 minute epic My Kind of Sunshine which is really a soul jazz classic. Dieter Reiths organ lines are just wonderful, some really epic twists and turns as the beats change from funky to swing back to funky and his playing goes from funk into hard bop effortlessly..
Anyway recommended as a primer (it loses one star becuase of the lack of other essential material which should have been included) .. but you really got a check out those early 70s LPs if you can but they seem to go for a lot of money on auction sites these days.
Superlative brass arrangements.......2000-03-21
This CD is somewhat of a 1970's "greatest hits" compilation containing live and studio tracks. The music is thoroughly '70's hip and still sounds great today. Some of the music is absolutely stunning, such as "Neosho" with its awesome brass arranging and "The Mixolydian Highlander" with its almost Gregorian fervor.
The CD is top quality with several photographs, detailed tune and personnel descriptions and liner notes in both German and English.
This CD is a fine prelude to Herbolzheimer's Marvelous 1997 "Colors of a Band," which sadly, is apparently no longer available.
If inventive, cutting-edge big band jazz is your bag, you can't go wrong here.
