Larry Bright - Solar Visions Crosswind CWR-301 (1978)Larry Bright's brilliant fusion drumming has earned him a place as one of the hottest jazz performers around, he now coaches drummers and has become somewhat of a celebrity recently with the release of a video drumming tutorial. His advanced rhythm patterns and explosive style have gained him acclaim as the preferred drummer for progressive jazz artists worldwide.
Larry has played with many leading musicians including Sun Ra, Carl Filipiak, Curtis Mayfield, John Lee Hooker and Ben E. King, to name a few.
He made a couple of albums, but most notably this effort is a stunning underground classic. Awe inspiring spiritual jazz coupled with smooth and complex fusion rhythms, dancefloor-friendly in places but super cool throughout - a real favorite of mine.
This cosmic funky fusion masterpiece was released on the tiny Pennsylvania independant Crosswind Records and has almost vanished into obscurity - typical!

ReplyDeleteThis album is awesome, and has aged well, as is not always the case with jazz-rock productions of the time. Nice jaco-esque bass as well. A very nice discovery for me. Could you by the way post the credits? THANX

Hi Quimsy.
ReplyDeleteSince Rapidshare turned into defunct status long time ago, could it be possible for you to re-upload this gem please? That would be awesome!
Thanks.
Hi fellow funksters! I've just discovered Larry B very late after getting his New Dimensions album (which I'm happy to share BTW). Would love this jazzier album from a decade earlier. Any chance of a re-up to one one of the File Hosting sites working? Would be awesome thanks in anticipation - Cheers KG
