This album is about as delicious as Surf and Turf.

Live At Cafe Montmartre 1966 Vol 2
Don Cherry

(From Dusty Groove)

CD (Item 472106) ESP, 1966 -- Condition: New Copy
Incredible work from Don Cherry -- a previously unreleased live date from the 60s, but every bit as great as any of his better-known records from the decade! The sound here is really amazing -- a hip blend of Cherry's trumpet with tenor from Gato Barbieri and vibes from Karl Berger -- working here in a piano-less setting that has all three players snaking together beautifully as the tunes unfold -- freed up a bit to explore some really bold new territory, yet always held together with the same sense of inherent rhythm you'd find on Cherry's Blue Note albums from the late 60s. Rhythm is by Bo Stief on bass and Aldo Romano on drums -- both players who really help the tunes take on some great structures -- especially during the group's extended take on "Orfeu Negro", a number taken in very similar ways to Archie Shepp's Fire Music version of "Girl From Ipanema"! Other numbers are great too -- and include "Remembrance", "Spring Is Here", "Suite For Albert Ayler", and "Complete Communion", done in a 22 minute take.

Hey Alex aka Bassman!

You can get The Trenta, Roughneck and Roughneck Live in Paris on Itunes for $9.99 each.  You can get the Roughneck Album in the US from cdbaby.com. http://cdbaby.com/cd/eddieroberts

Trenta you can get on Dustygroove.com.

Let me tell you something too....If you don't know dustygroove.com in the US then you need to get to know it! The reason I even know funk music as much as I do is from random purchases from that site.

Oh man Alex you are going to love dustygroove.com. I have nothing to do with them except at one point I think I gave them more money than my rent. haha.

If you click on Deep Funk CDs it begins.....If you are a 45 OCD hound like me, select 45s and you will go bonkers with new music:

I used to just randomly buy 5 various CDs from the deep funk section (Whatever was on sale) and the funk just never ends. Every now and then you throw in someone like



and the next thing you know you have 50 terabytes of music or a bunch of 45s without a turntable like me. haha.

 

ANY GRANT GREEN!!!
