Pithecanthropus Erectus album
$13.19 
Recorded during a string of concerts staged to commemorate John Zorn's 50th birthday, ELECTRIC MASADA captures the plugged-in variation of Zorn's acoustic, avant-Klezmer jazz quartet. Regular members Dave Douglas (trumpet) and Greg Cohen (bass) are absent here, with bassist Trevor Dunn admirably filling Cohen's position. Zorn's alternately lyrical and aggressive alto saxophone playing is still front and center, as are Joey Baron's dazzlingly polyrhythmic drum patterns. Rounding out the ensemble are guitarist Marc Ribot, keyboardist Jamie Saft, percussionists Kenny Wollesen and Cyro Baptista, and Ikue Mori on laptop electronics.
As one might guess from the personnel and instrumentation, the music here is dense, highly rhythmic, experimental, and often chaotic. The nearly 15-minute "Tekufah" is a cerebral, funky brew that recalls Miles Davis's early-1970s period (circa LIVE EVIL), with Saft's Rhodes creating a busy, cool counterbalance to Ribot's screaming guitar and the webs of thundering drums. "Idalah-Abal" ...
| | Hank Mobley Another Workout: RVG Series CD (1961)
Pithecanthropus Erectus CD music
$8.99
This is part of Blue Note's Collector's Choice series. These are limited-edition pressings of a few thousand copies.
This LP has material from 1961 that for no real reason went unreleased until 1985. One song, "Three Coins in a Fountain," is from the same session that resulted in tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley's famous Workout session with guitarist Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The other five numbers -- three obscure Mobley originals, plus "I Should Care" and "Hello Young Lovers" -- are from the previously unheard December 5, 1961 session with the same personnel except for Green. Hank Mobley was in a prime period around this time, and all of his Blue Note recordings are well worth picking up. ~ Scott Yanow
Reviewers called tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley underrated so many times that the word may as well have been his middle name, and when combined with the numerous financial, personal, and health issues that Mobley endured during his career, it all added up to a middle of the pack position in the jazz canon. He truly deserves a reevaluation. This delightfully warm set was cut on December 5, 1961 with Mobley on tenor sax, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe ...

| | Greg Hopkins Okavongo CD (2001)
Pithecanthropus Erectus CD music
$13.39
Summit Records has captured two sessions recorded in Boston by a group of New England musicians led by trumpeter Greg Hopkins. Most of the music was composed by Hopkins and is designed to incorporate the events that influenced him during the last 25 years, running from his work in jazz and Motown in Detroit to playing in and writing for such big bands as Buddy Rich's. The title is somewhat misleading. The music is less African than European symphonic. This group of similar large contemporary bands that perform in concert like the Carla Bley Very Big Band, the Mingus Big Band, and the European-based George Gruntz Concert Band. It also follows in the tradition of the Duke Ellington Orchestra when that unit was in a concert mode. Like those organizations, the Hopkins unit features exciting arrangements, tight, dynamic ensemble work, and strong, straight-ahead blowing from top rate soloists. There are four two-part compositions on the album, allowing Hopkins' ideas to be fully realized by this very good band of musicians. "Steller-Prologue" and "Steller by Satellite" are journeys, relatively gentle rather than perilous, into the creative world of modern jazz, with jagged rhythms and dissonant give and take between instruments, such as between Hopkins' trumpet, Joe Hunt's drums with clashing cymbals, and Jeff Galindo's trombone. Hopkins, as expected, gets most of the solo work, although sax man Billy Pierce and guitarist Mick Goodrick get chunks as well. Pierce has spacious solo room on Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes" with Mick Goodrick's guitar working underneath. This is one of the prime tracks on the album. Okavongo is prime, progressive big band music with symphonic jazz overtones at its most exciting and imaginative. Recommended. ~ Dave Nathan
Recorded at Berklee Studios, Boston, Massachusetts in January 1997 and January 1998. Includes liner notes ...
