This album is a killer. IMO it’s right up there with “Kind of Blue” and “The Blues and the Abstract Truth” etc as super classic, all time greatest, must have, and, if you don’t have this album you’re culturally deprived. Although that’s tongue in cheek, it also happens to be true. After you get it and you’re diggin the groove, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
The album was recorded in NYC, 12/10/75. The album cover you see pictured above, is the orig Timeless cover. For awhile Timeless had a relationship with Muse records. If you’re looking for vinyl, there’s another cover with blue sky/rainclouds background and four inserts with photos of the musicians. It’s Timeless Muse TI 306.
Just a few notes about this album, which was Waltons first as producer, and also the very first release for Timeless. The tune Naima had special meaning for Walton. Walton was playing with Coltrane when he wrote it. Walton was living on 91st street and Trane was living on 103rd street with his wife Naima. Cedar used to go over, and play with Trane in his living room. The tunes: (1) Bolivia – Cedar Walton (2) Naima – John Coltrane (3) 5/4 Thing – George Coleman (4) Bittersweet – Sam Jones (5) Mode for Joe – Cedar Walton. That’s correct, Cedar wrote Mode for Joe, the tune that made Joe Henderson famous.
Cedar might be the most under-appreciated figure in jazz. He truly is a giant.
