Inside Songs Of Curtis Mayfield -- live In Rome
CD (Item 482849) Rai Trade (Italy), 2007 -- Condition: New Copy
A very cool project from bassist William Parker -- a set that's unlike anything else we've ever heard from him before, and a loving tribute to the music of Curtis Mayfield! Instrumentation is mostly jazz-based, but there's also some vocals on the record too -- sung by Leena Conquest, and spoken by Amiri Baraka -- both of whom really help add some depth to the record. Parker's bass is at the helm of a lineup that includes Darryl Foster on tenor and soprano sax, Sabir Mateen on alto and tenor, Dave Burrell on piano, Lewis Barnes on trumpet, and Hamid Drake on drums -- all hip players who really bring a lot of their own spirit to the music -- making the tunes unique vehicles for jazz improvisation, and hardly the simple Curtis covers you might expect. Titles include "Think", "Freddie's Dead", "The Makings Of You", "People Get Ready", and a 21 minute take on "We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
