Description
An incredible copy of "Keeper of my Soul" by Walter Bishop Jr.'s 4th Cycle.
An incredible, rare gem in the jazz genre.
Pressed in 4 channel stereo quadraphonic by Black Jazz Records.
This is an original copy and the sleeve and vinyl are in VG+ condition. The sleeve has some ring wear (which is typical due to the black album cover) and the record has some small scratches. Having listened to it several times, it sounds impeccable.
On Keeper of My Soul, Bishop plays acoustic and electric pianos and organ with a sense of uplift, a quality characterizing the best soul-jazz of the day. Opening number 'Soul Village' is a fascinating union of jazz and funk; today, it still sounds fresh in its immediacy. Here Bishop brings personality to his playing of a plugged-in piano, no easy task, while young saxophonist Ronnie Laws, a few years away from his descent into the disco-fusion abyss, captures in his solo some of the saxophone-generated warmth associated with his mentor, David Fathead Newman. The little-remembered vibraphonist Woody Murray handles himself well, and the funk rhythm section cooks.
