| Amazing work from Fitz Gore -- an overlooked tenor player who made some pretty heady records on the European scene of the late 70s! Fitz originally hails from Jamaica, but worked heavily on the French, German, and Scandinavian scenes of the 70s -- blowing some mighty mean tenor that has equal doses of Sonny Rollins and Albert Ayler -- the amazingly fresh tone of the latter, and the soulful style of improvisation that marked the best bold work of the former. Yet Fitz is very much his own man too -- as you'll hear in this hip selection of recordings pulled from some of his rare albums -- beautiful work that features piano, electric piano, bass, drums, and congas -- all brewed up together in a blend of spiritual and soul jazz styles, often with some slight African influences too -- especially considering the use of congas. We'd easily rank these records right up there with anything coming from the American underground of the time -- and the package is a brilliant introduction to Gore's music -- with titles that include "Gisela", "Musication 1", "Delilah", "Requiem For Julian Cannonball Adderley", and "Song For My Father". |
