Review
by Jason Ankeny
The
heyday of psychedelic jazz was brief but undeniably memorable: a
beatific fusion of jazz, funk, psychedelic rock, and raga, the music
merged East and West in a gorgeously transcendent and tripped-out
explosion of sound and sensibility. The aptly titled Psychedelic Jazz:
16 Smoking Tunes culls some of the best and rarest performances from the
movement's late-'60s/early-'70s peak, a moment in time when jazz fed
not only on its own innovations but also embraced the hippie
counterculture, radical politics, and Eastern mysticism with
unprecedented fervor. The end result is mind-expanding music with no
real antecedent or, sadly, descendant, in an otherworldly marriage of
wah-wah guitars, celestial keyboards, swirling sitars, and sinuous drums
further distinguished by harps, vibes, and everything else under the
sun. Highlights include Dorothy Ashby's "The Moving Finger," Pierre
Henry's "Psyche Rock," Roy Ayers' "The Fuzz," Gabor Szabo's "Walking on
Nails," and Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger's "Season of the Witch."

Reseña
por Jason Ankeny
El
apogeo del jazz psicodélico fue breve pero innegablemente memorable:
una fusión beatífica de jazz, funk, rock psicodélico y raga, la música
fusionó Oriente y Occidente en una explosión de sonido y sensibilidad
magníficamente trascendente y alucinante. El acertado título Psychedelic
Jazz: 16 Smoking Tunes recoge algunas de las mejores y más raras
interpretaciones del apogeo del movimiento a finales de los 60 y
principios de los 70, un momento en el que el jazz no sólo se nutría de
sus propias innovaciones, sino que también abrazaba la contracultura
hippie, la política radical y el misticismo oriental con un fervor sin
precedentes. El resultado final es una música que expande la mente sin
antecedentes ni descendientes reales, en un matrimonio de otro mundo de
guitarras wah-wah, teclados celestiales, sitares arremolinados y
tambores sinuosos, distinguidos además por arpas, vibráfonos y todo lo
demás bajo el sol. Destacan "The Moving Finger" de Dorothy Ashby,
"Psyche Rock" de Pierre Henry, "The Fuzz" de Roy Ayers, "Walking on
Nails" de Gabor Szabo y "Season of the Witch" de Julie Driscoll &
Brian Auger.
