Drum Circus

Drum Circus : Magic Theatre.

Recorded 1971, Horst Jankowski.

Killer tune lifted from this rare cd lp. Pointed in the direction of this one by Arkadin and El Reza no less. Papera cannot be played to loud, heavy jazz percussion, short but sweet.

Essential ....

Wayne Shorter (Bomb!)

De Pois do Amor, O Vazio (After Love, Emptiness)

Taken from Odyssey of Iska.

Blue Note King GXK 8080 (Japanese Press)

Recorded at A&R Studios, New York, 26th August 1970.

Produced by Duke Pearson.

Quite possibly, my all time favourite track. Eleven and a half minutes of pure heaven from an incredible line-up. The whole album is breathtaking, with both Ron Carter and Cecil McBee on basses, Dave Friedman on vibes, Gene Bertoncini guitar plus more. But, and from the liner notes "The three percussionists also were delegated to special roles. The regular drum part was played by by Al Mouzon, whose celebration of life brings De Pois do Amor, O Vazio to a mind-shaking climax."

If you've never heard this .... well.

Jazz in the Classroom #2

Another beautiful track lifted from this pretty rare private press album out of Boston from 1972. It's called Events and features Salvatore Spicola on tenor.

From the liner notes;

Events finds Sal Spicola, tenor sax, offering both the original melody and the jazz solo. The melodic foundation for this piece comes from the simple intervallic relationship of: down a 4th, then, up a 2nd; and is heard throughout. The rubato section with Richie Caruso, soprano sax, and Al Ulanowsky, piano, demonstrates Jack's (Jaxon Stock) gentle side.
