This review is from: At the Village Vanguard (Audio CD)
This greatly underrated album is wonderful, trippy jazz. What we have is basically a 5-piece band comprising Chris Anderson on piano, John Gilmore on tenor sax, plus bass, drums and guitar. Then, in addition, we have Sun Ra tinkling away mostly in the background adding synthesiser effects that give the music that unmistakeable Sun Ra flavor. Round Midnight is one of the best versions of the tune I have heard, and the 11-minute S'Wonderful is, well, wonderful. Not much detail on the liner notes, but it is 65-minutes of great music. Two of the tracks can be downloaded from Amazon in MP3 form, so if in doubt, check it out. The quality of the recording is excellent, and apart from a little polite applause at the end of each track, you would never know it's a live recording. Very, very enjoyable. Update November 2006 The original part of this review was written a few years ago and was one of the first reviews I wrote for Amazon. This album remains one of my all-time favorites, and while it may not be to everyone's taste, if you do like it, then there is nothing like it. At moment of writing I just finished listening to Round Midnight and still have a smile on my face.
