PAUL JACKSON - BLACK OCTOPUS.RARE LP RELEASED IN 1978 ON EAST WORLD EWLF-98006 STEREO. MADE IN JAPAN SOUNDPHILE SERIES DIRECT DISC.RECORDED AT TOSHIBA EMI STUDIOS OCT.25TH 1978. ALBUM IS IN NR.MINT CONDITION WITH A FEW VERY LIGHT SCUFF MARKS THAT CAN BARELY BE SEEN.COVER IS VG+/VG++ WITH SOME MINOR EDGE AND CORNER WEAR,SOME MINOR RING WEAR AND THE TOP 2 CORNERS HAVING A SLIGHT BEND.OVERALL IN PRETTY DESCENT SHAPE. A BIT ABOUT THIS ALBUM: Something of a lost funk legend, Black Octopus was recorded by bassist Paul Jackson during a 1978 tour of Japan with Herbie Hancock's Headhunters. the album lives up to the reputation it developed in exile, its blend of "Chameleon"-like fusion, disco, R&B, and spacy jazz driven by Jackson's fatback basslines into rare groove nirvana. Surprisingly, most of the original Black Octopus also features his vocals, which bear a marked resemblance to Slave's Steve Arrington. Jackson acquits himself well as a frontman, nicely crooning his way through the sultry, laid-back disco of "Burning in the Heat (Of Your Love)" and even reciting a little poetry on the opening "Many Directions." But it's the vintage grooves here — played by several other Hancock veterans, including Herbie himself, and loaded with crunchy Rhodes riffs, JB's-style horn charts, and in-the-pocket drumming — that are the real star. Of the four additions, which nearly double the album's running time, the instrumental "T-Bolt" is probably closest to what would have been expected from a Jackson solo effort, its tasteful fusion a descendant of Hancock's '70s work. "Umi Bozu" is more adventurous, its clouds of synth underpinned by propulsive rhythm guitar, and "Bow Tie Dress" is flat-out weird, with Jackson mumbling lyrics over a jaunty electric piano. Yet if Black Octopus' musical tentacles occasionally reach beyond their grasp, the overall result is still an essential for any savvy DJ or fusion fan.
