You Betcha! -- Live At Fiddlers

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 430461) PS Records/P-Vine (Japan), 1974 -- Condition: New Copy

A pretty hip batch of soul jazz tracks -- recorded by drummer Frank Derrick live at Fiddler's nightclub in Chicago. Derrick's group plays a bit of everything -- from Eddie Harris funky jazz to driving big band numbers to organ-heavy soul jazz numbers -- all with a nicely heavy bottom that really gives the tracks an edge! The recording quality is nicely rumbly at times -- almost giving the record the feel of some of those great local school band records from the same period -- but the album's even better than those, because the tunes here are all original numbers -- with a great overall conception that's a lot fresher than the usual album of this sort! Titles include "No Jive", "Jazz Scene", "Variations In Jazz", "Inspiration", and "Socialite Suburbanite".  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
