Pete Jolly - Seasons 1970 (A&M Records)
Label : A&M Records
Value :
One of our favorite-ever keyboard albums -- a rare lost session from
pianist Pete Jolly -- one of his only electric dates, and a completely
improvised set of grooves! Pete plays electric piano, organ, and even a
bit of musette -- jamming in the studio with help from Chuck Berhofer
on bass, Paul Humphrey on drums , John Pisano on guitar, and Milt
Holland and Emil Richards on percussion -- all of whom bring in some
sly, subtle touches to the grooves that are totally great! The album's
much more open than other keyboard dates from the time -- almost in the
territory of some of Herbie Hancock's most experimental work, but a fair
bit more groove-based too -- given that the album's filled with short,
funky tracks all the way through. There's some echoes of Bob James work
to come -- and given the 1970 date of the record, it could almost be
said that Jolly predates a whole host of 70s keyboard talents -- setting
his mark with this uniquely laidback set of tracks.
