Group Everything Everything Everything - Hino’s Journey To Air
Nice to see Japanese reissue of this 1970 album originally released on Terumasa Hino's own "Love Records." We've got Olu Dara, Dave Liebman, Steve Grossman, Bob Moses, Steve Yellin thru his saxophone and others in this fine 12-piece band doing their Globe Unity-type workouts over Parts I & II.
An album from 1960 from the popular Dominican bandleader Billo Frómeta who was a big hit for years in Venezuela. Being against the Dominican dictator Trujillo, he and his family left for Venezuela while he was in his early 20s. The name change to Billo's Caracas Boys was a kind of an intentional insult towards those who vowed to not let him into the Republic again because of his political views. A full musical life occasionally tainted by scandal (bigamy, hiring musicians outside of the union, conflicts with local musicians to the point where he had to travel to Cuba to perform while being ostracized by Caracas musicians ...), he died while rehearsing a self-tribute concert that was to take place the next day. On stage, and just finishing "A Cuban in Caracas," he had a stroke and fell over during the audience applause.
What I'm not listening to right now. My wife is usually game for any kind of crazy free jazz etc, but she requested a break from this one. From my Astral Spirits subscription...I do hereby acknowledge its tinnitus-like qualities. Now I kind of want to crank it up sometime soon
Dr Atmo & The Basalt Boys - The Whole Traffic. Trying to chill out while the washing machine keeps backing up into the sink or not draining - it's not easy!
In some respects this is barrel scrapings; being Jack DeJohnette's private tapes made commercially available, but then if you can stand a bit of crowd noise (inc. a very loud camera shutter at the start of 'Round Midnight) it is actually a fine document. The associated Black Forrest release is probably "more important" but, yeah I'll go with this for now. Eddie Gomez also in fine form.
Also someone got so excitable they had to kick a bottle over - I tell you it's almost like being there!
