Oriental Jazz
CD (Item 478933) East West/Eastern Arts, 1968 -- Condition: New Copy
Possibly the greatest album ever from the enigmatic Lloyd Miller -- his legendary Oriental Jazz album from the late 60s, and a really wonderful blend of musical modes! Some of the tracks here really stretch out in the Eastern promise of the title -- mixing jazz rhythms with santur, oud, zarb, and other unusual instrumentation -- all in ways that are modal one minute, meditative the next, and which even echo gamelon styles on one tune! Other tracks are a bit straighter in the instrumentation, but still sparkle with a globe's worth of influence -- Lloyd on piano, carving out sounds in a very unusual way! Some tracks are by Miller's trio, other by a quartet that features him, but which is led by pianist/trombonist Press Keys. Titles include "Hue Wail", "Pentalogic", "Tanya", "Natanie", "Guzel Gozler", "Prelude In The Iranian Mode Shur", "Impression Of Bhairava Raga", and "Njonja Mirah & Yona". Some of these tracks have appeared on Millers Oriental Jazz CD compilation -- but others haven't -- and this is his reissue of the full original album! © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
