He also played oud and took part in a variety of attempts to blend his roots music with jazz, out of which this is one of the most successful. Indeed, one might overlook the entire fusion nature of this record and look at is as a prime example of how much brilliant jazz is created often by relatively unknown players, despite traditional historical attempts to credit most of the best jazz to a certain pantheon of so-called \"giant\" players. The best-known player here is drummer Andrew Cyrille, recorded here early in his career, playing in a more traditional style then he would eventually become known for and playing very well to be sure. The leader's original tunes are catchy and refreshing, revealing new delights with each listen. The version of the standard \"Don't Blame Me\" is a wonderful showcase for another undersung player, cellist Calo Scott. Of course the usual credit should go to recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder, whose efforts recording small combo jazz have never been matched. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Life Goes On","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50409476817227,"sku":"2014576","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0-1_956a24d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726615065"},{"product_id":"made-in-japan-1","title":"Made In Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMade In Japan\u003c\/i\u003e is the third album by Japanese rock band Flower Travellin' Band, released in 1972.
