"Wonderful work from the vastly-overlooked team of Earl and Carl Grubbs – two incredibly soulful players from Philly who really carried on a tremendous post-Coltrane legacy. Earl plays tenor and Carl plays alto – and the record shines with that rare Traneish approach to free creative soloing and spirituality, in a mode that we'd reserve for an elite group of work, such as the early albums by Gary Bartz on Milestone, or some of the better 70s group recordings of Andrew White. The whole album's fantastic – with backing by Kenny Barron, Buster Williams, and Albert Heath – and it's got a sense of majesty that's simply stunning for two players who've never really made the pages of jazz history as well as they should have. Titles include "Gone Are The Days", "Glad to Be Sad", "Black Smoke", "Love Is Magic", and "Two Wives"."
Many many thanks for the quickly response to my request, KingCake !

The crypt is a treasure trove, i'm much obliged to you KC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the music.
The Grubbs have not figured in my listening at all apart from something heard a long time ago - I think it was "In My Youth". Very happy to try this album and renew my acquaintance. Thank you. I see Tootie puts in another appearance [Kwanza].
ReplyDeleteThese individual records are so good, a compilation almost seems ashamed. Great stuff!
