Buy It Now!
|
Recorded Live at the Club La Ville, Paris, 1994.
"Paris was personally a great experience for me. It was a mind blower! Absolument! J'aime Paris (I love Paris) because the people accept the music with sincerity and warmth. I've always tried to play music in a sincere manner with love, beauty, and truth, even though it takes on many different forms of creativity. I hope the music I make will affect people in positive, spiritual ways and provide enjoyment or some type of direction that inspires them to pursue their artistic endeavors."

REVIEW “With this double album Arhoolie seems to be getting into the serious jazz scene. Keeping that in mind, this one is not for the causual fan. This is some hard-core stuff. The trio is sax, bass, and drums and is reminiscent of the trio work of Sonny Rollins. In fact one is constantly reminded of Rollins' Villange Vanguard recordings. Simmons is a monster on the tenor sax blowing explosive phrases at lightning speed. He tips his hat to John Coltrane by doing "My Favorite Things." Not only does he do a great rendition of Tadd Dameron's "Hot House," but Sonny knocks off a heart-felt version of "Round Midnight." My one coplaint is the lack of in-depth liner notes. Other than that, Arhoolie has definately got something good going here.”(Lars Gandil — Victory Music Review) |
