Paul Horn • Cycle

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
One can hear hints of Paul Horn's future directions on this obscure LP. Horn (doubling on alto and flute) shows his interest in Indian music on "Shadows #1" and "Shadows #2" (which are dedicated to Ravi Shankar) and in the drone feeling that he gives "Chim Chim Cheree." "In the Bag" and "Greensleeves" add a pair of Scottish bagpipers (!) to the quintet (which also includes vibraphonist Lynn Blessing, pianist Mike Lang, bassist Bill Plummer, and drummer Bill Goodwin), so this is not an album for everyone. Within three years, Horn would abandon jazz altogether to work on atmospheric mood music.

Note:
The Quintet received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Album, Small Ensemble for their 1965 recording "Cycle".

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
En este oscuro LP se pueden escuchar indicios de las futuras direcciones de Paul Horn. Horn (que dobla en contralto y flauta) muestra su interés por la música india en "Shadows #1" y "Shadows #2" (que están dedicadas a Ravi Shankar) y en el sentimiento de drone que le da a "Chim Chim Cheree". "In the Bag" y "Greensleeves" añaden un par de gaiteros escoceses (¡!) al quinteto (que también incluye al vibrafonista Lynn Blessing, al pianista Mike Lang, al bajista Bill Plummer y al batería Bill Goodwin), por lo que no es un álbum para todo el mundo. Al cabo de tres años, Horn abandonaría el jazz para dedicarse a la música ambiental.
