Must have of the genre,
By ZAHZAH "zahzah" (MISSION VIEJO, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Love (Audio CD)
Mwandishi? Crossings? Love, Love!! Yes! Pepo Mtoto Julian Priester's album sounds REALLY GOOD on this CD release. ANYBODY who has collected Mwandishi, Crossings or Sextant MUST** MUST hear "Love, Love"!! You get Priester's visionary take during this all too short electronic/acoustic era of post jazz. A sideman in Herbie Hancock's ground breaking, mind blowing "Sextet", Priester was one of three horn players with the Hancock group MOST DIRECTLY DESCENDANT FROM MILES DAVIS. After Miles, but before the Super Funk of the Headhunters is the momentary supernova flash that "Love,Love" is a part of. This work is one of the rare few venturing into worlds of non-commercial, pure exploration music of the time. In "Love, Love" you get Patrick Gleeson's otherworldly Emu sythesized orchestration and colorations, Hadley Caliman's "off center" reed playing (feeling very much like Bennie Maupin... are you sure it's not Bennie?) and of course, Priester's inspired, trimphant moments of clarity, proclomation and arrivial. Add a few other nice suprises, among which are Bill Conner's extended guitar solo, Eric Gravett's drumming, and the spirited piano of Umbra Zindiko. On "Love,Love", Pepo Mtoto lays back when it's grooving, absorbs and focuses the energy at the point of meltdown, then climbs upon and stands shining atop a glorious cachophony of sound and wonder. "Love, Love" is rare and wonderful. Listen to the samples (and of the referenced works, too!)

Mwandishi lives!!,

Wow. Just wow. I'm a huge fan of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi-era band, and yet I never knew this album existed until a few weeks ago! It's essentially an Mwandishi album without Herbie Hancock, and -- dare I say it? -- in some ways it's better than "Crossings" or "Sextant." If you love those thrilling days of the early Seventies when jazz fusion was groundbreaking and challenging, if you love "Bitches Brew" and early Weather Report, and especially if you're a fan of Mwandishi, this album will rocket you straight to heaven. Somebody please tell me there's more music out there like this!
