Having just posted a Loring Eutemey cover as a favorite, why not another one?
So, I'm not a gigantic jazz fan. It's a genre I've tried to get into (just like I've tried to cultivate a taste for wine), but like wine, the results have been disappointing. Beer please ...
I guess my musical tastes are just too lowbrow to get most jazz. That said, this 1970 album us actually surprisingly funky - kind of a Stax-meets-jazz vibe on tracks like 'Don't You Know Your future's In Space' and 'Live Right Now'. And the cover is just plain strange. No idea what the concept was, but the juxtaposition of an orange on sax player Hariss' head was eye catching. Did I mention how strange it was?
