oh, their funky souls,
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Movement (Audio CD)
Anybody who's around my age, 27, and has been grooving to bands like Karl Denson, Galactic, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Soulive and Lake Trout, should totally check out this disc. This is the way it was done back in the day, Eddie and Les are pioneers of this sound. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funky. "Shorty Rides Again" will brighten your day. "Carry On Brother" is anthem for anyone with a funky soul. Les & Eddie are telepathic in their exchanges. I'd go as far as to say there are moments here that have Swiss Movement beat. Don't miss this...get on down!!!

Shorty Truly Rides Again!,
By "cordellm" (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Movement (Audio CD)
At the risk of dating myself, I've waited a long time for this one to return! My original copy, on LP has truly seen better days. Every cut on this CD is excellent, but I must acknowledge the significance of "The Universal Prisioner". What a message of motivation! "Shorty rides again", and again and again! This one is a classic!!!!

In the 60s, jazz had two seperate streams flowing into the same river: free jazz and soul jazz. Idiotically, critics took sides, as if both these types of beautiful music were mutually exclusive. Tonight's card, Jimmy Smith vs. Cecil Taylor, 15 rounds. Then again, in those days, everything was polorized. Music, like hair and dress, was politics.
This is fortunately no longer the case, and if you like soul jazz, look no further than this album. McCann and Harris create a tight, rocking R&B that is both danceable and ellgent. This is not a organ romp one off, but polished, well-composed music with outstanding players. Grit and gloss to every note. Great vocals. It also works as an album. There is not a sliver of filler on here. If you like soul jazz, buy this. Then again, if you like free jazz, buy this.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Second Movement (Audio CD)
I loved this when it came out when I was in high school , and lost it in the switch from LP to cassette to CD. Cannot believe I lived for 25 years without having it to groove to.

A true classic jazz album, and as those of us who know and care, it stands the time test for listenability, the benchmark of all great music !!!!
