Nation Time

CD (Item 30900) Unheard Music Series/Atavistic, 1970 -- Condition: New Copy

Wild early work from Joe McPhee -- and actually pretty darn funky! This rare 1970s release features 3 long tracks -- two of which were recorded live, with a tight combo that includes a very funky drummer! The album kicks off with the hard wailing "Nation Time", which begins with a shout from Joe, and which rolls into a vamping modal groove (almost Pharoah Sanders-ish) filled with spiritual tenor work by Joe, and some nice electric piano, sounding very off-kilter. Next up is "Shakey Jake", an excellent 13 minute funk number -- with bubbling organ, vamping rhythms, and a nice extended jazz dance groove! It's a killer cut, and is the kind of number that Dusty Groove fans will totally love. Last up is "Scorpio's Dance", a pretty raw and somber track, with a nice open-ended loft jazz quality to it. Great stuff -- and very nicely packaged!  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
