Free Music Review: Sublime modal Jazz from the Manne's gang
Hit: 5 Stars
Uh guys, let's buy immediatly this record because it is beyond words. It is simply phenomenal! I'm not Joking, I'm not exaggerating .. it is unbelievable sixties Jazz. Don't let the liner notes fool you! It is not a television themes thing, or a sort of soundtrack music or a "minor", less important record. It is spectacular pure modal Jazz from the sixties. The band is superb, Shelly with Conte Candoli, Kamuca, Russ Freeman and Chuck Berghofer. They deliver here some incredibly high quality jazz in the modal vein. If you love "Kind of blue" you will love this one. I own almost everything Shelly recorded with his guys (every record is a gem!!), but this one really stands out. It lives in a category of its own in the Shelly's discography. I couldn't believe it was THIS good. Everything is perfect here, try the second tune the haunting ballad "The isolated pawn", or the Impressions kind alike "The king swings" ... or the fast swinger "Checkmate", the opener. Really this one is a fantastic release. 1961 the year. Buuuuuuuuuuy!
