With thanks to @confused . . . Totally Brilliant !
- "Imagine a street corner anywhere in the world, where those who live on
the fringes of society gather to talk, to each other and to themselves,
about life-changing events, missed opportunities, memory, loss and
regret.Five "street people" recount the memories and experiences of one
of their group, a man who has lost his legs in some unnamed war. As part
of the experience of losing his legs, he began a conversation with God,
under the influence of the morphine he was given to ease his pain.Now
he wishes that the conversation, which was interrupted when the morphine
wore off, could be continued so that he could get the "secret word"
that would stop all wars and suffering."
Well, time for one more before I head out to overseed the lawn before the rain comes. I haven't played this in ages. @Germanprof suggested this for one of my garden experiments way back. I'm not sure why this is my only encounter with him as I now see how prolific an artist he is. My dilemma is where to start? There are so many and very reasonably priced albums, I'm overwhelmed. Any suggestions. Saito Koji 2008 Mizuumi
@confused I listened to a bunch of his other ones some years back and came back to liking Mizuumi best - the others did not stick with me. The Resting Bell stuff is all free to download. I dunno, try Tokyo Morning Loop?
Buster Williams posted a link to this album on FB the other day. 1969, Dex's first studio album after returning from Europe. All three members of the rhythm section are still with us!
I'm so addicted to this recording. Some stuff of Fritch's I adore, others creep me out a bit too much (and I mean that in a flattering way). But Deceptive Cadence is just gorgeous. I splurged and bought the booklet version of the CD. I love how Lost Tribe offers up some albums with specialty art. So cool.
