Arthur Blythe-The Grip & Metamorphosis-1977

A little request fulfillment,2 monster live sets by one of the great bands of its day, 

These are among my favorite jazz records period!!!

.

. To my knowledge, both were also issued in Japan by Paddle Wheel , and once on CD combined  in the early 90's..

The Band has a very distinct unique sound, with Bob Stewart and Abdul Wadud  given plenty of space , all the instruments more or less have an equal weight.

in the ensemble passages, there's a lot here that is delightfully  reminiscent of earlier free wheeling New Orleans , collective playing....

Beautiful Stuff .

and btw,Blythe hasn't been well the last couple of years, and you can help him by buying some of his available cds from reputable sources, such as the labels Cadence..Enja or in an out .

CHARLES TYLER "FOLK AND MYSTERY STORIES" (1980) FLAC ,AND LAME

The first charles tyler album i ever heard!

i bought this in an opshop for a couple of dollars when i was first discovering this music in the 1980's

its a lot more arranged, than most of tylers other work, but no worse for that, this features the unique front line combination , of richard dunbars french horn, and tylers baritone sax, on the wonderfully mutant stroll of monks friday the 13th.

click on the black and white image for the personnel info.

track list

side a 1)uptown Manhattan puerto rico 2)folk like

side b 1)Friday the thirteenth, 2)the warlock mystery drama.

this is a vinyl rip 

I'm sorry i cant scan the covers in full, at the moment as i don't own a digital camera, and couldn't find an image on the web.
