Though it's hard to pick a winner among the estimable Black Jazz catalog, this 1972 from bassist Henry InchThe SkipperInch Franklin would have to be near the top of the list. Franklin got his start woodshedding with Latin maverick Willie Bobo in the mid-'60s and went on to play with The Three Sounds, but probably his most notable gig prior to this debut album was his stint in Hugh Masekela's band (that's Franklin playing bass with Masekela at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival). For The Skipper, Franklin assembled a crack outfit that included a horn section of trumpeter/flugelhornist Oscar Brashear (Bobby Hutcherson, Ry Cooder, Donny Hathaway) and tenor & soprano sax man Charles Owens (Buddy Rich, Horace Tapscott, John Mayall) along with a Masekela bandmate in electric pianist Bill Henderson and ace drummer Michael Carvin (Pharoah Sanders, Lonnie Liston Smith, Freddie Hubbard). This is such a unique, organic recording that it's hard to make comparisons; definitely a little fusion, a little '60s Blue Note feel, and the usual Black Jazz journey to the more lyrical, pop-inspired (InchLittle Miss LaurieInch) and funk-infused (InchPlastic Creek StompInch) sides of jazz, but perhaps the best comparison is late-'60s Miles before he went electric. Remastered for vinyl and featuring liner notes, this Real Gone comes in a blue with black swirl pressing limited to just 500 copies!
Limited 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP pressing of this album from the veteran jazz guitarist. Offramp is the Grammy Award winning third album by Pat Metheny Group, released in 1982. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance in 1983. It is well known for containing the group's signature song, the jazz fusion ballad 'Are You Going With Me?' Offramp is the first studio recording on which Metheny used a guitar synthesizer (a Roland GR-300)[4] controlled with a Roland G-303 guitar synthesizer controller Metheny first emerged on the jazz scene in the mid-1970s with a pair of solo albums. Despite the common description of Metheny's music as Inchfusion,Inch it was always his intention to create improvised music that had a greater emphasis on bringing out harmony than anything common to what was called InchfusionInch of the time.
