Buddy Terry "Pure Dynamite"

Oh, thank God it’s Friday!!! It’s been a long week for me and I’ve had little time to work on vinyl rips for the blog. Well, have no fear our man E-mile has somehow read my mind and left a nice goodie in the comments section. So here it is, the 1st official contribution to the blog. Many thanks to E-mile!!! I myself had never heard this album, which means it’s a great treat for me too. So, once again the blogship everything will steer through another rarity of the Mainstream catalogue.

This is Buddy Terry from 1972, he’s joined here by a lovely supporting cast of hip players that includes Eddie Henderson, Woody Shaw, Kenny Barron, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Billy Hart, Airto and Mtume. Jesus!!! That’s a list!! All the cuts on here are very stretched out and the players really take the music someplace special by towing a fine line between the spiritual and funky end of the jazz spectrum. The spacey Rhodes work and rubbery bass lines act as bit of musical glue pulling the players back into the pocket after they crank out some really fiery solos. Check out this really amazing session, it's guaranteed to put your ears in a happy space.


Don't forget to leave a comment & thank E-mile for this stellar contribution..................... Stay tuned babies, I have some very tasty bits on the way soon!!
Peace...............Dr. Fever

F**k. Thanks a million for this. I've been searching all over the place to get this one. Had it once but sold it when i was young and stupid and needed money to please some girl. Especially Baba Hengates is absolutely out of space.

Great stuff. I particularly like the Quiet Afternoon track. Thanks both to you, doc, and to Simon, who has pointed this out to me.

Do you by any chance have the two Buddy Terry LPs on Prestige, "Electric Soul" & "Natural Soul? Those albums have Woody Shaw and Larry Young as sidemen, which is reason enough to be curious.
