Pierre Moerlen's Gong...........1979 on vinyl


Quote
Pierre Moerlen's Gong is a jazz fusion outfit which is very different from the first incarnation of Gong, the psychedelic space-rock act led by Daevid Allen. It is notable for the prominent use of mallet percussion, such as marimba, xylophone, and vibraphone featured in a rock/jazz context, making for a very distinctive and unusual sound that could have been classified as warmer and more melodic than most typical fusion could be, and is comparable to the sort of fusion-influenced output many bands on the Canterbury scene were producing at around this time.

A masterpiece for sure. Brilliant. Perhaps Freddie Hubbard's best as a side man, perhaps even as leader. Tony Williams is astounding on this release. All great tunes written by Hancock.

BTW, that Coltrane "Newport '63" I posted above, Roy Haynes is on drums as Jones was in drug rehab at the time (what I've read). For you Coltrane fans, "My Favorite Things", ever heard of it?  :lol:  Well, if you don't have this version you need to get it!  :thumb:  Very different and interesting with Haynes at the sticks. He is so light and quick compared to Jones. Also, perhaps one, if not the, best playing of MFT by Coltrane as well. I'm serious.

Highly recommended!
