Charles Earland • Organomically Correct

Review by Al Campbell

Organomically Correct revisits selections from three of Charles Earland's late-'70s Muse recordings. While most fans of "The Mighty Burner" treasure his Prestige dates released earlier in the decade, his sessions for Muse contained as much gritty funk without the fusion-ish over-production Earland toyed with that marred recordings like Intensity. The musicians on these tracks are spectacular, including tenor saxophonists George Freeman, Frank Wess, or Houston Person; guitarist Jimmy Ponder or Melvin Sparks; and Grady Tate or Walter Perkins on drums. Of the 12 tracks, nine are Earland originals, alongside Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes" and the standards "Undecided" and "Old Folks." Fans of organ jazz or funk should check this out.

Charles Earland: organ; George Coleman, Houston Person, Mack Goldsbury: tenor sax; Frank Wess: flute and tenor sax; Bill Hardman: trumpet; Jimmy Ponder, Melvin Sparks: guitar; Walter Perkins, Bobby Durham, Grady Tate: drums; Ralph Dorsey, Lawrence Killian: percussion.

Reseña de Al Campbell

Organomically Correct vuelve a revisar las selecciones de tres de las grabaciones de Charles Earland de finales de los 70's Muse. Mientras que la mayoría de los fans de "The Mighty Burner" atesoran sus fechas de prestigio publicadas a principios de la década, sus sesiones para Muse contenían tanto funk arenoso sin la sobreproducción de fusión con la que Earland jugaba con esas grabaciones estropeadas como Intensity. Los músicos de estos temas son espectaculares, incluyendo a los saxofonistas tenores George Freeman, Frank Wess o Houston Person; el guitarrista Jimmy Ponder o Melvin Sparks; y Grady Tate o Walter Perkins en la batería. De los 12 temas, nueve son originales de Earland, junto con "Infant Eyes" de Wayne Shorter y los estándares "Undecided" y "Old Folks". Los fanáticos del jazz de órgano o del funk deberían ver esto.

Charles Earland: órgano; George Coleman, Houston Person, Mack Goldsbury: saxo tenor; Frank Wess: flauta y saxo tenor; Bill Hardman: trompeta; Jimmy Ponder, Melvin Sparks: guitarra; Walter Perkins, Bobby Durham, Grady Tate: batería; Ralph Dorsey, Lawrence Killian: percusión.
