Recorded in NYC, May 25, 1967.
Drummer Pete La Roca made only three albums as a leader during his heyday in the 1960’s. Although best known for his Blue Note debut Basra in 1965, La Roca recorded two albums for Douglas Recordings in 1967, the previously released Bliss! and this obscure release. This session is a fascinating slice of late-60’s modally influenced Jazz featuring an especially welcome solo spot from John Gilmore, who was rarely able to record outside of Sun Ra’s grasp. Hearing Gilmore free of the Arkestra is reason alone for celebration, but to combine that event with an early appearance by Chick Corea elevates the session well beyond mere historical curiosity. Gilmore is more restrained here than with his regular employer, but it is a delight to hear him elucidate with a sense of subtlety that was sometimes lost in the ecstatic throes of the Arkestra. Gilmore’s resplendent tone is in full force here, like an otherworldy cousin of Paul Gonsalves; he brings an authoritatively timeless air to these pieces. Corea’s cascades of precise linearity contrast nicely with Booker’s rock solid bass vamping and La Roca’s splashy cymbal work. “Bliss” leaves Gilmore out of the mix and highlights Corea’s gorgeous descending melody. Considering the albums’ 1967 vintage, the session never sounds dated, despite the typical modal vibe, so much the rage at the time.
THE NON FLIPBACK SLEEVE IS VG+ WITH A SMALL DELETION HOLE IN IT, THE DISC PLAYS AS EXCELLENT WITH NO NASTY POPS TICS REPEATS OR SKIPS. THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL ODD BIT OF CRACKLE BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SERIOUS, SO OVERALL EXCELLENT .
THIS RECORD IS GRADED AURALLY NOT VISUALLY.
