This post
is a rip of a CD reissue of two LPs collecting together the music
performed by a Murray led quartet at a Manhattan club on New Year's eve
in 1977. You can almost smell the seafood in the club's name! It
re-unites the rhythm section of Hopkins and Wilson from Murray's earlier
India Navigation recording from eighteen months before, and adds Lester
Bowie.
Bowie is the link between the three most powerful groupings of
musicians who came together in New York in the late 1970s to transform
the established free jazz movement into the new music scene. Bowie had
been active in both St Lois and Chicago in the collectives that became
BAG and AACM respectively, and here in New York he is one of the
earliest to play with musicians, who like Murray had come from LA.
Inspired by the Black Arts movement and the idea of musical collectives
they had nurtured these ideas in major black communities in the US, but
ultimately moved to new York, often after sojourns in Europe.
Bob
Cummins was one of those jazz lovers and small-scale entrepreneurs who
captured much of the vibrant energy of the scene on his India Navigation
label in the 1970s. He seemed to earn his living as a lawyer, and spent
it on recording live performances in the lofts and small venues, and
then releasing the recordings. He
died in September 2000, but small bursts of CD reissues seem to
appear from time to time. Not sure why and how, but I'm always glad of
the opportunity to listen to more. This one seems to be out of print as
far as I can tell. It was certainly hard to find a copy when it was
first re-released.
I haven't got the original vinyl LPs, but the CD
liner notes say there's nearly seven minutes taken off 'Santa Barbara
And Crenshaw Follies', and by my calculations there's possibly over two
minutes less on 'For Walter Norris' if the timings on LP and CD can be
believed (they can't usually). The CD notes also talk about an
unreleased track. many of these tracks were staples of Murray's
repertoire, and you get the usual personal dedications, rich textures
and sometimes inspired themes. I'm very fond of this recording. I hope
you enjoy it too.
