Short Takes

CD (Item 617683) Muse, 1992 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
Soulful fusion work from bassist Lonnie Plaxico – but still with more than enough sharp edges to please our ears! In a way, the record's a nice merging of two generations of work on Muse Records – the older soul jazz and fusion the label forced back in the 70s, and some of the smoother sets they recorded at the time of this date – a period when the label was coming back into play a bit. Plaxico's bass is electric on most numbers, as is a good deal of the other instrumentation – guitar, keyboards, and synth – but the feel is a bit more open and exploratory than on mainstream fusion albums of the time – with some of the freer, more flowing sounds that we've always loved from the Muse label. Carla Cook sings on three numbers – and titles include "Windy City", "Rocket Love", "Detune", "Luvenla", "Taste By Taste", and "South Africa".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Antoine Roney

Traveler
Muse, 1992. Used
Wallace Roney's hip brother Antoine is a heck of a tenor player – blowing in a post-Coltrane mode that makes him one of the better young talents of the Dewey Redman generation of new traditionalists! Although a 90s set, the record's got a deep sort of energy that almost hearkens back to the ... CD

Kenny Barron

Sunset To Dawn
Muse, 1973. Used
Sublime 70s work from Kenny Barron – a record that really has him stretching out strongly from his roots in the 60s, and sounding almost even more inventive than on some of his later material as well! Kenny's playing a fair bit of keyboards on the set – showing a wonderful sensitivity ... CD

Johnny Lytle

Moonchild (Muse)
Muse, 1991. Used
A later set by soul jazz vibist Johnny Lytle – but a great one too, and a date that's done with a straight ahead mode that shows he's still swinging hard! The record's a bit less groove-oriented than some of Lytle's earlier efforts, but in ways that really focus on his longer-wind chops as a ... CD

Jack Walrath

Gut Feelings
Muse, 1990. Used
A really compelling album from trumpeter Jack Walrath – just the sort of effort that gets us to take a lot closer work at his other work as a leader! The album's got a very ambitious sort of feel – a core combo backed by larger strings – all in a range of unusual rhythms and ... CD
