Deep Purple - Come Taste the Band - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Diversity is at the heart of pianist/keyboardist/composer/poet Robert Mitchell's remarkable career. His recent tenure as Artist in Residence at Morley College provided the setting for a new venture that builds on all his previous legacy while sounding quite unlike any of it. Drawing inspiration from the heavy fusion of Chick Corea and Allan Holdsworth, the psychedelic bluesy swagger of Jimi Hendrix, and the fearless multi-media explorations of Cecil Taylor, 'Little Black Book' brings together three bravura players in an uplifting celebration. Laurie Lowe on drums and Zayn Mohammed on guitar bring the exact combination of power, accuracy and unbounded imagination to make the project come alive.'Little Black Book' lives up to the sense of mystery and promise the title evokes, opening up new vistas of Robert's creativity. InchIt's been very exciting to explore the world of electronic keyboards, with the challenge of taking on multiple roles, from lead voice to bass, all live in the studio. And I'm fulfilling a long held dream to work more with guitar and realize the sense of excitement and exploration that it brings.Inch 'Little Black Book' is the latest telling of a story in which every chapter is more intriguing than the last.1.

The last DP album to feature original vocalist Rod Evans and original bassist Nick Simper. No real hints to the hard rock juggernauts they would soon become, but still a heady mix of late-'60s rock featuring plenty of fine Ritchie Blackmore solos and now 5 bonus tracks. The best known track here is their version of Donovan's Lalena. Album Tracks 1. Chasing Shadows 2. Blind 3. Lalena 4. Fault Line 5. The Painter 6. Why Didn't Rosemary 7. Bird Has Flown 8. April 9.
