 (3 Customer Reviews)
Recorded on a tour that took the band around the world in 1973 and '74, WELCOME BACK is the definitive live ELP document, capturing the pomp and circumstance of the seminal prog-rock band in all its glory. Initially released as a six-sided LP, WELCOME BACK contains eight lengthy pieces (how's that for ambitious?). The more song-oriented, Lake-composed ballads are combined in a medley ("Take a Pebble/Still You Turn Me On/Lucky Man"). Otherwise, epics are the name of the game. From the pseudo-classical "Tarkus" to the classic three-part "Karn Evil 9," ELP's technical mastery and complex compositional abilites are finely showcased. Also in evidence are the band's showmanship tendencies (including lots of gonzo instrumental grandstanding) which are sheer rock & roll bravado.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Keith Emerson (keyboards); Greg Lake (vocals, guitar, bass); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion).
Audio Remasterer: Andy Pearce.Q (11/96, p.149) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...the last ELP record you could listen to without first checking that the house was empty..."

 ELP WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS
As always, the epitome of rock and roll. Emerson, Lake and Palmer were always innovative and well ahead of their time. They use a mix of synthesizers with live instruments. This album is my SECOND favorite one. "Brain Salad Surgery" is # 1.

classic elp live
i bought this 3-lp set at a used record store for $1,and it is high on the list of albums i like, and one i can still listen to from start to finish,and not get bored with it.the tarkus song is extended by about 7 or 8 minutes on this lp,and the song "karn evil 9" takes up all of sides 5 and 6,ending in a synthesizer-solo freakout.the only flaw on this album is that there is a 12-minute piano solo(is it necessary?).i only wish the songs "trilogy" and "from the beginning",2 of my favorite elp songs,were on this album.the live songs sound better than the studio versions, i think.i recommend this!

It seems that we've come to a point in the development of pop music when the word "jazz" (in the context of dance music, anyway) no longer means swing, or improvisation, or sophisticated chord progressions. What it now means is lounge, and what lounge means, all too often, is easy listening for people who fancy themselves too sophisticated for easy listening. Take some cookie-cutter downtempo electronic music, throw in a muted trumpet and maybe a string bass sample, and presto: you've got something you can call "jazz." Throw in a laid-back singer with poetic pretensions, and you've hit hipster gold, even if the lyrics he delivers are a mush of half-baked loverman clichés and simplistic references to themes of spiritual and/or social uplift. Unfortunately, this seems to be Jazzhole's territory. Every track on Poet's Walk is pleasant and listenable, but not a single one contains enough ...

Chris Kase (b. 1964, New Brunswick, NJ) is a jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist, composer and educator who has resided in Madrid, Spain since 1997. He has performed and/or recorded with many well known jazz artists such as: The Mingus Big Band, Adam Nussbaum, Kenny Wheeler, Bob Mintzer, The Bird of Paradise Orchestra, Steve Coleman, Chick Corea, Steve Wilson, Don Braden, Grant Stewart, Bruce Barth, David Berkman, Al Foster and Perico Sambeat, among others.In his detailed liner notes trumpeter Chris Kase attempts to shed some light on the technical considerations behind the compositions on his latest release, Nine Easy Pieces. And it is true that there is a lot of meat in his writing; but what really makes this album succeed is the easygoing manner in which all participants navigate music that, while complex and considered at its core, sounds deceptively simple.Lester Young once said, “Can you sing me a song?†and clearly Kase can. He has a warm and inviting tone on both trumpet and flugelhorn and his playing demonstrates a lyrical elegance that makes every solo, every motif eminently singable. Whether it be on the brooding “Dark Interval,†improvising around a brief 6/4 piano-bass motif, or on the more compositionally rich “Numero tres,†Kase creates melodies which linger in the memory.And speaking of rich compositions, Kase is another example of a contemporary writer who explores more extended compositional ...
