A wonderfully focused record from drummer Charles Bobo Shaw -- a set that shows the new fire his music had gained in the latter part of the 70s! The lineup still strongly shows Shaw's roots -- a creative combo that features Joseph Bowie on trombone, Luther Thomas on alto sax, James Emery on guitar, and John Lindberg on bass -- and there's a nice sense of swing amidst the freedom, a rhythmic pulse that comes especially strongly from the bass and drums, and which reminds us of some of Thomas' best moments in this mode. The set's a great example of the way that 70s groups like this could work with a great sense of freedom, but still keep things grooving too. ~dustygroove

Brilliant! I actually got this as a 50p cutout from the MoleJazz stall at the Bracknell Jazz Festival back in 80/81 with I seem to recall a Black Saint poster inside. Stolen many moons ago and I did find it on the interwebbythingy but i seem to recall there was something with the rip, so Big thanx. A great record!

Hi Mona,
ReplyDeleteA old flat mate used to have this many moons ago & I found it cheap on Amazon sometime ago. I have seen it on other blog but not at 320kbps. Hope it brings back good memories.
Did you manage to download the Bill Laswell with Jack Dejohnette live torrent from dime?
When was it recorded? where? in Miland?
