Charming the snake of Jazz, the pipes lead the tones on a dance of hitherto unheard-of proportions. Bongos and drums – bongs and drugs? Methinks not. “High on life” seems more the fit. This is one of those recordings from the “outre” days of releasing – something so strange and unexpected that it is immediately endearing and entearing.
A jaunty voyage. The sounds from the bagpipe (always singular) lend a different kind of atmosphere entirely to the Jazz backing and in comes the shaking of the tambourine. Vibrating organ and further combos reveal how integral the bagpipe is when it’s gone. Hup! And the trombone blaats, urged further by the wizard behind the curtain of history…
Propulsion from an unlikely place in history, into an uncertain future, all the while espousing the credo that “intention breeds attention”…
