This album actually combines two Chico Hamilton releases, namely MAN FROM TWO WORLDS and PASSIN' THRU. There is great compositional range on this disc, even though nine out the 10 tunes were written by a single author (saxophonist Charles Lloyd). Some of these compositions spin off on an avant-garde tangent, while others are more direct and harmonically familiar.
The title track is basically an extended jam, though there is a Monk-like main theme that is used to begin and end the tune. Clearly, this piece is influenced by Indian music, and guitarist Gabor Szabo best illustrates the exotic, modal leanings of this composition through his sitar-influenced solo. On the other hand, "Forest Flower" is much more harmonious and easy to follow. Using standard jazz chords and a catchy melody, this tune is much less demanding on the ear. As the title implies, MAN FROM TWO WORLDS really does focus on two distinct "worlds" of jazz, and is the perfect listen for all those who crave musical diversity.
Recorded on September 18, 1962 and December 11, 1963.

Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios).
As a drummer, Chico Hamilton probably never got the full recognition he deserved. However, his ability to recognize and hire young talent kept him in the limelight throughout much of the 1950s and '60s. THE DEALER is a good example of Hamilton's musical vision. The most significant aspect of this release is the introduction of a 23-year-old Larry Coryell, who went on to become one of the foremost jazz guitarists in the world.
THE DEALER finds its groove on the fourth track, "Baby, You Know," which is a beautiful, laidback ballad. On this tune, Coryell plays with all the heart and soul of ...

| | Bill O'Connell Latin Jazz Fantasy CD (2004)
Man From Two Worlds songs
$12.79
Historically, the term Latin jazz has been used to describe a mixture of hard bop or post-bop and Afro-Cuban rhythms (son, cha-cha, mambo, guaguancó, danzón, etc.). But Latin music is more than Afro-Cuban music; it's also everything from Argentinean tango to Spanish flamenco to Mexican mariachi. So technically, someone who fuses jazz with tango or flamenco (or Brazilian samba, for that matter) is playing some form of Latin jazz. The Latin Jazz Fantasy that pianist Bill O'Connell shares with listeners on this 2003 date is primarily an Afro-Cuban jazz fantasy -- and yet, Latin Jazz Fantasy isn't stereotypical Afro-Cuban jazz in the way that Tito Puente, Poncho Sanchez, Cal Tjader, Eddie Palmieri, and Mongo Santamaria have epitomized Afro-Cuban jazz. Latin Jazz Fantasy doesn't contain any bolero versions of "My Funny Valentine"; O'Connell doesn't provide son, cha-cha, or mambo arrangements of Sonny Rollins or Miles Davis pieces. Leading a variety of post-bop groups -- sometimes a lavish orchestra, sometimes trios, duos, quartets, or quintets -- O'Connell doesn't beat listeners over the head with Afro-Cuban rhythms. Instead, he applies them in a very subtle fashion on original material that ranges from the cerebral "Wind It Up" to the melancholy "After the Dust Settled" to the playfully funky "Fast Eddie" (which has a definite Weather Report/Joe Zawinul influence and underscores the fact that fusion can affect ...
