You should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.
The extended solos on Funky by Gene Ammons, Kenny Burrell, Jackie McLean, and Art Farmer - each among the all-time greats on their axes, each with their own very recognizable tones - are so melodic and creative that I have practically memorized them. Ammons in particular creates solos that sound like little songs in their own right . It's really a shame that these Prestige Records "blowing sessions" of the 1950s are so often dismissed as being unrehearsed, spontaneous and somehow without artistic merit. How could you have ears and think that? On the title tune of Funky, for instance, you get a simple, riff-based head that is then repeated in a tight harmony by the horn ensemble before Ammons launches into his song-like solo. Thereafter, each soloist can be heard deliberately taking a phrase from the previous soloist to launch his own, almost as if each is completing the others' musical thoughts. Burrell picks up and finishes Ammons musical sentence, before McLean later picks up a motive from Burrell. When pianist Mal Waldron enters, he goes all the way back to the opening phrase of Art Farmer's solo. It's marvelously sustained. Everybody's listening to everybody and actively creating a single, cohesive musical statement. On the two Jimmy Mundy-arranged tunes, Mundy also keeps everyone on their toes by making all four lead soloists share a single bridge or exchanging fours in unpredictable pairs. And then there's "Stella By Starlight," on which Ammons turns in what may be the definitive ballad exposition of this standard before everyone solos during a double-time section. Throughout, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor create a hazy, nighttime groove that makes this album a great record to chill out to. (Taylor only picks things up a bit on the final track.) Despite the "hi-fi jam session" marketing spiel on the otherwise super-cool album cover, Funky deserves to be recognised as one of the most memorable albums of the 1950s.
