Description
MORE FROM THE WEBSITE LpCoverLover : Many of the records being listed have great music, performances, stories, etc. but all of these records were collected for their cover art, beautiful design, incredibly strange and odd concepts, interesting packaging and subject.
With The Phantom, Pearson set out to expand the boundaries of post-bop with an extended group of musicians, featuring himself (piano), Jerry Dodgion (flute and alto flute), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Sam Brown (guitar), Alexander Gafa (guitar), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Mickey Roker (drums), Carlos “Patato” Valdes (conga and guiro), and Victor Pantoja (conga). In the credits on the back of the sleeve, Pantoja is misspelled “Pantojo”. The album was produced by Francis Wolff and recorded by the mighty Rudy Van Gelder, widely regarded as the greatest recording engineer in jazz history.
The enigmatic cover image (photo by Francis Wolff) suggests that intrigue and mystery lay within. Latin rhythms and percussion provide the foundations over which complex harmonies and arrangements weave exotica-style magic. Avant-garde breaks drift in and out. The sounds are lush and soulful. The music smoulders and the feel is tropical. Stand out tracks are The Phantom and The Moana Surf. The musicianship throughout is phenomenal. Bobby Hutcherson on vibes gets a special mention – he’s simply outstanding. These are dudes at the top of their game.
