Right on y'all ( Alphonse Mouzon) (LP 239)

The Eleventh House Introducing The Eleventh House With Larry Coryell (vinyl - Vanguard, 1974) ****

Genre: Jazz Fusion  

Places I remember: Real Groovy Records (Auckland) 


Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Yin





Gear costume:  The Funky Waltz

Active compensatory factors: Jazz Fusion is a rich place to live. All sorts of great bands and musicians reside there.


But, it's not for the faint of heart! Try Yin which kicks off side two frinstance (as featured above). Driving intensity from bass, drums, with solo synth, trumpet (Randy Becker wailing man), and main man Larry Coryell's guitar.

It's a fusion version of Chasin' The Trane from the previous post. Glorious!!

It's not all as intense as Yin - there is light and shade along the way. And FUNK - check out Mouzon's Funky Waltz!

The lack of vocals gives this more gravitas too. Just sayin'.

Where do they all belong? More vinyl Eleventh House to come.
