A great first experience of Lowe’s work.
My first title by tenor man Frank Lowe. Recorded in 1981 and released in 1982 on the Italian Soul Note label, which is affiliated with Black Saint. The music is quite accessible, not free jazz at all. I would call this post-bop spiced with a dose of the avant-garde and some hot blues and latin rhythms thrown in there as well.
One of my favorite tunes is the title tune, penned by Lowe, which is a calm piece filled with beautiful statements. And also ”Addiction Ain’t Fiction” with it’s latin vibes. The swinging rhythm, blended with some of Lowe’s avant-garde approach, makes for an interesting concoction.
The album artwork is created by Carmen Lowe, probably inspired by Moki Cherry.
Need to dive deeper into Lowe’s work.
