Charles Brackeen - Worshippers Come Nigh


CHARLES BRACKEEN QUARTET - Worshippers Come Nigh (Silkheart, 1987)

Charles Brackeen: tenor saxophone
Olu Dara: cornet
Fred Hopkins: bass
Andrew Cyrille: drums
Dennis González: pao de chuva

01-Worshippers Come Nigh
02-Bannar
03-Tinny Town
04-Ible
05-Cing Kong
06-Newsstand (Take 1)

Tenorman Charles Brackeen's third of three Silkheart CDs (recorded at the same session as Attainment) matches his powerful playing with cornetist Olu Dara, bassist Fred Hopkins, and drummer Andrew Cyrille. All of the Silkheart sets are worth picking up, but this one (due to its extra intensity and the five particularly strong Brackeen originals) gets a slight edge. Brackeen's passionate playing shows that free jazz was still very much alive (if underground) in the 1980s.(from AMG)

Charles Brackeen - Attainment


CHARLES BRACKEEN QUARTET - Attainment (Skilheart, 1987)

Charles Brackeen: tenor saxophone, voice
Olu Dara: cornet, voice, berimbau
Fred Hopkins: bass, toy drum, voice
Andrew Cyrille: drums, congas, voice 
Dennis González: pao de chuva, voice

01-Attainment
02-Prince of Night
03-New Stand
04-House of Gold
05-Yogan Love

Tenor saxophonist Charles Brackeen is in ways a throwback to the 1960s. He sometimes builds off of childlike folk themes (like Albert Ayler), and Ornette Coleman's method of constantly improvising new melodies is also an influence. However, Brackeen's intense sound has a soul of its own, and his playing on the four lengthy originals (with strong contributions by bassist Fred Hopkins, drumer Andrew Cyrille and the underrated cornetist Olu Dara) is quite original. Intense yet fulfilling music which was recorded the same day as its companion album, Worshippers Come Nigh.(from AMG)

Hamiet Bluiett - Endangered Species


HAMIET BLUIETT - Endangered Species (India Navigation, 1976)

Hamiet Bluiett: baritone saxophone, flute
Olu Dara: trumpet
Jumma Santos: balafon
Junie Booth: bass
Phillip Wilson: drums

Here is the first Bluiett's record as a leader. A great record with three of the most powerful players from 70's: Bluiett, Dara and Wilson . The compositions are creative, the improvisations are energic, organic and adventurous. Beautiful sessions uploaded by an anonymous user which I thank again.
