Short Takes
CD (Item 617683) Muse, 1992 — Condition: Used
Related searches
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.

Hannibal Marvin Peterson
One With The WindMuse, 1993. Used
Hannibal made some mighty wonderful music in the 70s – and he really carries that tradition strongly forward on this overlooked gem from the early 90s! The album's not as boldly righteous as some of Peterson's dates for MPS, but it's still got a hell of a lot of soul – a well-blown ... CD

HandcraftedMuse/32 Jazz, 1978. Used
An obscure little session from Kenny Burrell – recorded at the end of the 70s, and with a very laidback feel! The set was produced by Helen Keane, who'd done some of Bill Evans' greatest sets – and who had a real ear for the mellower side of the jazz spectrum. And for the record, she's ... CD

Genius Of The B-3 (aka The Return Of Don Patterson)Muse, 1972. Used
Later work by Don Patterson – one of the best, and most free-swinging of the 60s soul jazz organists – recorded here in the early 70's, with the same tight organ jazz feel as his records for Prestige! Eddie Daniels plays tenor, alto, and soprano on the album – and the rest of the ... CD
Kenny Barron
Sunset To DawnMuse, 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

Smokin' JazzMuse, 1993. Used
Cecil's smoking on the cover, and he's smoking on the record too – really cooking things up in the best old school soul jazz style of his Muse Records years! The album was recorded live in New Jersey, and it's proof that plenty of great jazz was still coming from west of the Hudson in the ... CD

Buddy Rich
Very Live At Buddy's PlaceGroove Merchant/Beast Retro, 1974. Used
Hard-swinging Buddy Rich from the prime early 70s years – not exactly an all-out funk affair, but still a great groover, with plenty of hip little big band numbers! The groove here is nice and lean – and Buddy and the group are working at Buddy's own club – hitting that trademark ... CD
