...Octet ! Benedic Lamdin seems to be a never-stopper. 2 extraordinary albums in a year!! That really is not the correct way to do things in the music industry is it?

...Octet from 1956 doing a smooth cool school take on 'A hundred years from today.' Velvet arrangement wrapped round Perkins tenor with memories of the 1949 Miles Davis Nine somewhere in the background... Rather beautiful Steve Lacy served part of his apprenticeship with Thelonious Monk and throughout his career both showed a deep knowledge of...

CD Review: The Paul Carlon Octet Roots Propaganda

2008-08-15 21:37:50 by delarue in Lucid Culture
 
...octets version of Nobody Knows You When Youre Down and Out sounds an awful lot like Ray Charles Lets Go Get Stoned hmmm, what could that mean and features a big, Gil Evans style arrangement Mambo Pakanoa is straight up mambo and, true to its source, quickly becomes hypnotic.
