Memory Serves- Material with Sonny Sharrock, Bill Laswell, Billy Bang, Fred Firth and some other 80's jazz modernists (Electra Musician). Puttin it on rat now.Fugget about my post re: Material. Just too syncopated and serves no player well. See below . .
Arthur Dent - I'll look into Pure Food & Drug Act. I don't have any Harvey Mandel.won ton on - I have Soft Machine's Third and Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom.
Harvey started out playing underage in small Chicago blues clubs. He covers a pretty wide variety of sounds, though most is distinctly his. Blues is probably his most prevalent genre, though his Mercury Years collection is closer to jazz. His last few releases are pretty rock oriented. Planetary Warrior rocks pretty hard. If you like SM's Third, you'll probably like Fourth, & Seven, and Bundles is a must have. Their 1st two are pretty much in a category by themselves combining psychedelia, rock, jazz, & classical. All their releases are pretty unique.
Chris, you ever hear that duo album with Hawes and Charlie Haden . . Alone Together on A&M Horizon, I think?
