Martin Freeman And Eddie Piller Present Jazz On The Corner
£13.99
Format: CD
Notes: (2Cd)
Great 22 track collection of uber cool, hard bop, Mod Jazz and stops in between, this varied set has been curated by celebrity record hound Martin Freeman and Acid Jazz pioneer Eddie Pillar and is a well balanced journey through their respective record collections. Funky edged, groove based fusion like The Brand New Heavies ‘Sphynx’ blends well with Marlena Shaw’s ‘Look At Me, Look At You (We’re Flying)’ while Mose Allison’s supremely blase ‘If You’re Going To The City’, Kamasi Washington’s modern day spiritual ‘The Rhythm Changes’, Leon Thomas’ island swagger of ‘Just In Time To See The Sun’ and the funk of Blacks And Blues’s ‘Chains’ also sit together well. Eugene McDaniels’ soul-jazz ‘Cherrystones’, Charles Williams’ pacey ‘Trees And Grass And Things’ and Joe Gordon’s tough ‘Terra Firma Irma’ are also highlights among many.
