Recorded in Tonstudio Bauer, Ludwigsburg, Germany in February 1987.
This 1987 release furthers bassist and composer Dave Holland's quintet work. The personnel from his excellent SEEDS OF TIME album from two years prior is the same with the exception of a change in the trombone chair--Julian Priester has departed, replaced by Robin Eubanks.
The opening "Brother Ty" is as close to straight-ahead bop as this ensemble gets. This is followed by the gorgeous ballad "Vadana." The interlocked horns of Eubanks and trumpet/flugelhorn/cornet player Kenny Wheeler are harmonically evocative at every turn. Steve Coleman's alto saxophone flies around them, while Holland and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith create a foundation that's alternately playful and industrious. Wheeler contributes one composition (the ethereal "5 Four Six") and Coleman another two, keeping this album on a nicely collective footing. Beautifully recorded in warm and crisp detail.
Dave Holland Quintet: Dave Holland (bass); Steve Coleman (alto saxophone); Kenny Wheeler (trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn); Robin Eubanks (trombone); Marvin "Smitty" Smith (drums).

Personnel: Dave Holland (double bass); Steve Coleman (alto saxophone); Kenny Wheeler (trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn); Robin Eubanks (trombone); Marvin "Smitty" Smith (drums).

A stunning 22-track survey of all that made Abrasive Wheels such a crucial part of the early-'80s British punk scene, Riot City (named for the label that they helped personify) rampages through the first 12 months of the band's two-album/three-year career, picking up primal album cuts and key singles. Their debut LP, When the Punks Go Marching In, of course, is here in its entirety, but collectors will be more intrigued by the opening tracks, rounding up the rest of ...

| | I Am The Resurrection: A Tribute To John Fahey CD (2006)
Razor's Edge album
$14.05
The late John Fahey was to fingerpickers (or simply "pickers") what Jimmy Smith was to soul-jazz/hard bop organ -- Fahey, in other words, wrote the book on fingerpicking, an earthy, rootsy, instrumental style of folk-rock acoustic guitar playing. And just as Smith influenced countless organists, the seminal Fahey was a musical guru for Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho, Stefan Grossman, Duck Baker, Peter Lang, Michael Gulezian, and many other acoustic guitar-playing instrumentalists who surfaced in the '60s and '70s. Given his impact on folk-rock, Fahey is well deserving of a tribute -- especially from fingerpickers. But the interesting thing about this Fahey tribute compilation, I Am the Resurrection: A Tribute to John Fahey, is the fact that it isn't dominated by fingerpickers and Fahey disciples. The songs are familiar -- at least if one is heavily into Fahey's work -- but what the artists do to them are not. Hearing Peter Case (formerly of the Plimsouls) on "When the Catfish Is in Bloom," Lee Ranaldo (of Sonic Youth fame) on "The Singing Bridge of Memphis, Brooklyn Bridge Version: The Coelcanth," or the Fruit Bats on "Death of the Clayton Peacock" is a lot like hearing rock en español artists saluting Mexican norteño legends los Tigres del Norte on the Fonovisa compilation El Mas Grande Homenaje a los Tigres del Norte -- it isn't the first thing you would expect, but it generally works. And the fact that most of these artists interpret Fahey's material instead ...
