Comments: Gatefold stereo original, with a great disc and just light cover rubs on 2 places.
Chico live date with no information inside except the personnel, this one shimmers and shreds with live-gig improvisation and way-ahead sounds. Searing electric sax by Arnie Lawrence (never better), electric guitar by Bob Mann, and Steve Swallow on the electric bass. Lots of fuzz and the sax sounds like a synth most of the time…maybe a Maestro attachment. As is Chico’s wont, the jams combine his tribal-like grooves with voodoo jazz vibe, and the soloists get to smoke away as Swallow does his usual thing with very melodic bass riffage. This begins to feel more like a monumental moment in time, as Chico and the men process Bitches Brew, White Room, A Love Supreme and Vaughn Williams all at once. The guys a really listening to each other, and the gig feels improvised and written out at the same time, perhaps early Weather Report-ish too. Applause at the ends indicates immense satisfaction in the crowd. Never seen this on CD, either. |
