I own this on lp and have wanted to listen more frequently these days. The Bach stylings are particularly a 60's touch and probably are my favorite parts. Then there's the few wet hard blows Lalo blasts on the flute shifting gears. A great album. I think I'll have to get the sequel.

This is not the black opus you would expect from the title. It is, however, classic Lalo Schifrin.

Schafrin's gift was to take the blues and mutate the form. Blues always has an elegence, but Lalo was not afraid to add delicate flutes, big horns, harpsicords, and dozens of chord subtatutions to make blues as polished as a maidin ship's brass. He also injected funk, giving the music a fresh groove. These twelve bars are nowhere near Chicago.

This album shows Shafrin's mutation mastery. I hear shades of Quincy Jones and Oliver Nelson here, but Lalo makes these sounds his own.


Masters always listen to each other, and this cross polonation prooves Shafrin one of the top masters of all.
