Steve Khan • ALiveMutherForYa

 



Review by Scott Yanow
Drummer Billy Cobham is heard on this live set heading an all-star quintet also including Tom Scott on tenor, soprano and lyricon, keyboardist Mark Soskin, guitarist Steve Khan and electric bassist Alphonso Johnson. Although the music is mostly funky and uses plenty of electronics (Scott sounds quite faceless on lyricon), there are some strong solos, particularly from Khan and Scott (when he is on tenor). The six group originals are highlighted by "Bahama Mama," "Some Punk Funk" and "On a Magic Carpet Ride." Due to the amount of variety and spontaneity, Alivemutherforya is superior to most of these musicians' individual projects of the era. https://www.allmusic.com/album/alivemutherforya-mw0000528872

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El baterista Billy Cobham es escuchado en este directo al frente de un quinteto de estrellas que también incluye a Tom Scott al tenor, soprano y lyricon, el teclista Mark Soskin, el guitarrista Steve Khan y el bajista eléctrico Alphonso Johnson. Aunque la música es sobre todo funky y utiliza mucha electrónica (Scott suena sin rostro en el lírico), hay algunos solos potentes, sobre todo de Khan y Scott (cuando toca el tenor). Entre los seis temas originales del grupo destacan «Bahama Mama», «Some Punk Funk» y «On a Magic Carpet Ride». Debido a la cantidad de variedad y espontaneidad, Alivemutherforya es superior a la mayoría de los proyectos individuales de estos músicos de la época. https://www.allmusic.com/album/alivemutherforya-mw0000528872
