REVIEW
By Claus Stender
This CD, Vol.1 of "Blues From Mars" is the more Jazz oriented album. With the exception of tracks 6 and 7, "Whipping Post" and "The Creator Has A Master Plan" recorded live at the Brandy House in 2000, all other songs were recorded in the studio. The live tracks are the only with vocals (Andrew Black) all others are instrumentals.
Vol.1 starts with "When the Weird Turn Pro" with Tomas Ramirez, the Austin sax player who wrote the song. 10:10min of great musicianship gave enough time for extended solos by Barry, Tomas, and Jez Graham on piano. Well known guitar player Jimmy Herring guested on the next two songs, "...Behind Door #4" and the Miles tune "Blue In Green". Fantastic playing by all and it's a real pleasure to listen that cats! Track number 4, 8, 10, and 12 are called "Jazz Noise #1-4. Little composition from 00:21 to 01:36 lenghts and played by Barry, Kyle Brock on bass and Tommy Taylor on drums. After "Get It While You Can" comes "Whipping Post" the first non jazz composition. Everybody knows this song but played by Barry & Friends it's a new adventure in 11:31 minutes. Pharoah Sanders "The Creator has a master plan" is the next track and second live song. You see, the jazz is back again. After "Prom Night On Mars" and "Haystack In A Needle" (w/ Allen Sloan Ex Dixie Dregs on violin) we come to the last song. It's "Cissy Strut" the Meters classic. Again longer than 10 minutes the musicians showed in 11:17min how to make that song swing!
Awesome!
If I could I would have given 6*stars to this quality CD. An album worth to be in every collection of class.
