Another Holy Grail album from Jazz Room Records with Danny Ward & Reality who were the Go To Funky Jazz Band for College and other Hardcore Funk Party gigs in the Mid to late '70's in the Seattle area of the Pacific North West. They didn't just drop covers of the latest Disco or Top 40 hits though but instead took their audiences on a musical trip through the Funkiest and Jazziest sounds of the day featuring a coterie of Steely Dan inspired covers of cuts made famous by George Benson, Lydia Pense and Coldblood, The Headhunters , Mandrill and many more. This unique recording capturing them live at a midweek gig showcases their style which of which Danny Ward says:

"In the summer of 1977 this album was recorded at a club called The Tyee Restaurant and Lounge in Bremerton, Washington State, USA.

The night this album was recorded, there was hardly an audience, perfect conditions for making this recording.

We played every kind of venue, a lot of Top 40 dance clubs,but our style was to do a lot of soloing, despite the pressure of club owners and agents not to do so much soloing and be so "jazzy".

We didn't care, we knew the audience loved us and we were very popular.

This was the best group of musicians that i've ever worked with under the name of Danny Ward and Reality."

about

もう一つのホーリーグレイル・アルバムは、ジャズルーム・レコーズのDanny Ward & Realityによるもので、彼らは1970年代の中後半、シアトル地域で大学や他のハードコア・ファンク・パーティーのためのファンキーなジャズバンドとして知られていました。彼らは最新のディスコやトップ40のヒット曲のカバーを演奏するだけでなく、その代わりに、ジョージ・ベンソン、リディア・ペンス&コールドブラッド、ヘッドハンターズ、マンドリルなどが有名な曲を取り入れて、聴衆をファンキーでジャジーな音楽の旅に連れて行きました。このユニークなライブ録音は、彼らのスタイルを披露しており、ダニー・ウォードは次のように語っています。

「このアルバムは1977年の夏、アメリカのワシントン州ブレマートンにあるThe Tyee Restaurant and Loungeというクラブで録音されました。

このアルバムが録音された夜、ほとんど観客はいませんでした。録音するには最適な条件でした。

私たちはあらゆる種類の会場で演奏しましたが、多くのトップ40のダンスクラブでも、クラブオーナーやエージェントからの圧力にも関わらず、多くのソロ演奏を行うスタイルでした。私たちは気にしませんでした。観客が私たちを愛してくれていて、非常に人気があることを知っていました。

このバンドは、ダニー・ウォード&リアリティという名前の下で私がこれまで働いた中で最高のミュージシャンでした。」

Excellent take on Joe Mcphee's 1971 original. Insane sax and keyboards drive the groove. Stronky retro + avant-garde = Defiant Jazz. Tony_Poole
