Album Details

First Time on CD. This Critically Acclaimed Debut Album is Impressive from Start to Finish, and a Veritable Catalogue of Bass Guitar Technique. Ron Aspery's Funky Sax and Flute Work Leaves the Bottom End Completely Open to the Bass Guitar, and Colinhodgkinson's Use of Strummed Chords is Beautifully Backed by his Bandmates.

Customer Reviews:

Unique and Classic.......2006-04-05

There was never anyone else like Back Door - an amazing 3 piece combo of base, horns and drums where bass and horns exchange lead roles and the bass sounds like lead, base and rhythm guitars! The bassist is Colin Hodgkinson - once called the Hendrix of the Base - a label that does not in any way over state his prowess with his chosen instrument.
Buy this album and you will never regret it.

GREAT BAND, GREAT RECORDING.......2005-05-03

I saw Back Door live once and this recording very nearly captures the magic. It's the next best thing to seeing them live, now impossible of course, so therefore -- if you like GREAT music, great bass playing, drumming, woodwinds and brass; if you like great jazz, then buy this GREAT CD, put it on your machine, and sit back and smile:) Small combos don't get any better than this.

Unique and Original!.......2004-09-28

Every once in a great while, some bunch of musicians comes up with something that just amazes you, sounds like nothing else and drops your jaw. Back Door is one of those things.

Featuring the innovative chord-melody/strum bass work of one Colin Hodgkinson, this Brit threesome lets forth the full cry of the blues, the musical adventurousness of Ornette Coleman and lots of greasy get-down funk all in one deliciously heady brew. Even more amazing, is how they keep the pieces very short and concise, yet manage to pack so much musical meat in there!

Saxophonist Ron Aspery has just the right balance of honk, skronk and plaintive melody, while drummer Tony Hicks propels things along with feisty cymbal and snare work especially.

A must have!

Unique; original - a jazz Milestone album.......2001-07-01

In 1973 a friend of mine introduced me to this album. It's simply an astounding record which I've never stopped playing. From the sublime 'Askin' the Way' to the ridiculously fast paced 'Lieutenant Loose'and to the superb bass playing of Colin Hodgkinson on track 9 which is called 'Catcote Rag'. It was their debut album and their best and still brings tears to my eyes. It's truely an important album.
