The Atlantic Family • Live At Montreux

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This double LP was recorded at a series of concerts sponsored by Atlantic Records at the 1976 Montreux Jazz Festival. The mixture of jazz and R&B musicians is quite odd and sometimes stimualting. In addition to members of The Average White Band and soul singers Ben E. King and Luther Vandross, such players as tenor-saxophonist Michael Brecker, trumpeter Randy Brecker, altoist Sonny Fortune, flutist Herbie Mann, tenor-saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman and even trumpeter Don Ellis have their solos. It's an odd but ultimately successful jam session, long out-of-print.

Rezension von Scott Yanow
Diese Doppel-LP wurde bei einer Reihe von Konzerten aufgenommen, die von Atlantic Records anlässlich des Montreux Jazz Festivals 1976 gesponsert wurden. Die Mischung aus Jazz- und R&B-Musikern ist recht ungewöhnlich und manchmal anregend. Neben Mitgliedern der Average White Band und den Soulsängern Ben E. King und Luther Vandross haben auch Tenorsaxophonist Michael Brecker, Trompeter Randy Brecker, Altist Sonny Fortune, Flötist Herbie Mann, Tenorsaxophonist David „Fathead“ Newman und sogar Trompeter Don Ellis ihre Soli. Es ist eine seltsame, aber letztlich erfolgreiche Jam-Session, die lange vergriffen war.
