#1) Jeez, of course I have this LP, but didn't remember the tune being on it nor Eric playing so inside.#2) Thought it might be Griffith Park, but the piano sounded more like Herbie to me. Is this from the live LP? I don't have that one, just all the studio sessions including one w/Chaka and one w/Nancy.
#3) Never woulda guessed Ammons. Don't think this is representative of his best playing. Must be fairly old 'cause Bartz's playing was unrecognizable to me and I'm very familiar with his sound.
Follow Ups:
This wasn't live but it was done about a or so after the Chaka project. I like Cic on this, in fact I like the feeling of the tune.I like Gene Ammons no matter what he plays. Obviously no player is great all the time but I would always cut him some slack. He always sounds honest. Bartz didn't have as much dark fuzz to his sound on this. 1974
I never would have guessed Ammons either. I like Jug, but that boogaloo shit drives me crazy after about a minute. Oh well. Most of the players on the Griffith Park thing were a surprise to me, but Joe's sound was pretty clear. The Red Rodney thing totally caught me off guard. I should have recognized the Clifford solo too, but I didn't until it was pointed out. All in all, about an average score for me I guess. I've certainly done worse! Thanks as always, Barry.
I was going to put on a Gene Ammons ballad because Jug can 'testify' but my granddaughter came dancing into my room while this other thing was playing. She scares me how well she understands the feeling of different types of music and she sure knew what to do with that. Knocked me out so I recorded it. See how simple it is?Red Rodney has a special place in my heart. He lived about 12 miles from here and brought a lot of bands , all of them very good into the clubs I worked. Red was an absolute softy, happy with his clean life and proud of being straight. He and his wife were like grandma and grandpa. I think he always was amazed that he survived his early days. And, he really can play and run a band. We were sorry to see him go.
That Griffith Park album is pretty damn good. According to Lenny White they all had rediscovered their roots on that album. True or not it's a feel good story.
You always do good. We got to watch out for chapra, he's getting to be a killer!
Thanks for the feeling.

I was thinking it might be him -- the kind of forceful way he ends phrases as in 1:05 to 1:15... it's something I associate with him.
