Tower Of Power ‎– Tower Of Power

 

Tower of Power (1973) – Classic Funk & Soul LP Review

Warner Bros. Records 1973 ‎– BS 2681

 

notes:

Tower of Power emerged from Oakland, California, in 1968 and quickly 

forged a signature sound that blended soul, funk, R&B, jazz, and jazz-funk 

 becoming one of the most influential horn bands in modern music.

Rather than simply supplementing rhythm and blues with brass,

Tower of Power made the horn section the heartbeat of their groove

 a bold move that set them apart from their contemporaries 

and influenced generations of musicians.

Woody Herman – Light My Fire

 

Cadet records 1968 – LPS-819 DJ 

 notes:

Woody Herman, almost alone among the veteran bandleaders of the swing era,
went out of his way to keep an open mind toward new developments in jazz
and pop music. This particular LP dismayed many of Herman's longtime fans,
because it found his orchestra performing such numbers as "Macarthur Park"
(before Maynard Ferguson discovered it), "Light My Fire," "I Say a Little P
rayer" and Smokey Robinson's "Here I Am, Baby."
 Richard Evans contributed the arrangements and two originals including
"Impressions of Strayhorn," a feature for Herman's alto and clarinet.
The other soloists include
 tenors Sal Nistico and
 Frank Vicari.
Although a sincere effort, the end results often sound a little silly, as
one would expect in encountering Woody Herman's Big Band playing the Doors.

 Oliver Nelson and Emmett Carter in his early years. The bassist of the group
is Richard Simmons, the drummer Albert St. James who accompanied also
Charlie Parker, Tab Smith and Jimmy Forrest. Percussionist Percy James added

Funk Inc. Priced To Sell

 

Prestige records  1974 P 10087

credits and notes:

Priced To Sell would be Funk,Inc.'s last LP for Prestige. 

A more melodic mix of modes from Funk Inc  with some cool production 

by David Axelrod. The band's gritty funky is stretched out this time, 

and overall the sound's got kind of that mid 70s Prestige feel  

but the work in a variety of styles here. Includes cooking jazzy funk & soul,

bits of the gritty groove they made their name on, and a couple tunes 

with some emotive lead and soaring backing vocals! "Where Are We Going" 

and "Price to Sell". Also includes "It Ain't The Spotlight", "God Only Knows",
