THERE 'S BEEN A FEW DISCUSSIONS OVER THE NET IN ORDER TO KNOW HOW MELVIN JACKSON MANAGED TO FIND SUCH A GREAT SOUND FOR HIS CELLO ; THE ANSWER IS ECHO-PLEX AMPLIFIER !!!!!
HERE'S WHAT THE ORGY IN RHYTHM BLOG HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP " One of our favorite albums of all times and a legendary testament to the greatness of the Chicago music scene in the late 60s! Melvin Jackson was the bassist in Eddie Harris' very successful group of the time -- and his playing on Eddie's trippy and funky records for Atlantic is one of the factors that made them so great. Here, he's working with an acoustic bass, amplified with electronics like a Varitone sax and this strange-sounding instrument is set up in a hip group that mixes Cadet funky studio players (Phil Upchurch, Morris Jennings, Jody Christian) with some of the brighter young players of the AACM (Roscoe Mitchell, Lester Bowie, and Leo Smith.) Jackson's bass is looped through all sorts of crazy effects, and the result is this amazing blend of avant garde playing and groovy rhythms that is beyond compare! The album includes great reworkings of two Eddie Harris funk tracks "Bold and Black" and "Cold Duck Time"plus monster originals like "Funky Doo", "Say What", "Dance Of The Dervish", and "Funky Skull (parts 1 & 2)"."
