What's up that Phil Woods? I didn't know he went out there, after all that shit he used to talk about Braxton.

"moves" is one of my favourite sad numbers ever

emotions run deep like a crying sprinter in the forest
 
Doug Hammond Reflections in the Sea of Nurnen

quad-cosine

I still haven't fucking even heard this LP.



a lot of it is typical tribe ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) but the track that stokes me is when he gets all fragile and sings this mellow deprived spiritual ballad. shit is fragile as a nutsac.
 
Most Strata East & Black Jazz titles fall under this category, Tribe also. Horace Silver's United States... is my fav. I also like Andy Bey's Experience & Judgement. Somebody metioned Stan Clarke Children of Forever (Love this!)

Gary Bartz - Taifa/Uhuru
Nathan Davis - If (and others)
Hugh Masekela - Emancipation of Hugh Masekela/Lasting Impressions of Ooga Booga
Max Roach - Members Don't Git Weary
Hutcherson/Harold Land - San Francisco
Horace Silver - (Silveto lps)
Feather - Chen Yu Lips/Zanzibar/Goin' Through Changes

its a big, funky, tripped out record. Lots of rhodes, some synth squiggles...Phil plays through effects and his playing is in a kind of post-bop, he reaches, but remains fluid, he doesnt squeal or skronk much, but he gets out there.
The first track, the way it is mixed, could easily be a instro out-take from the "Low End Theory" the bass and drums are so ridiculously fat and loud. But I would call it spiritual because it has chimes and shit on it.
