An "Interesting" follow up to Chameleon........2007-03-25

If you were like me in the 1970's you were going to every MF concert he booked locally. Between 1974 - 1977 I must have seen him live at least 7 or 8 times, in high school concert halls, in larger clubs, and even a couple time at Disneyland (back when Disney used to have an "All That Jazz" festival over Memeorial Day Weekend). After the huge success of Chameleon, and after some changes in the band, Maynard always included some new and upcoming pieces when playing in concert. For Example, one of the most popular songs he did in concert during the time between Chamelon & Primal Scream was Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and believe me, it always brought the house down. That was one of the main reasons Primal Scream was a huge disappointment when it was released. None of the new songs were included and instead we're treated to a completely different sounding Maynard album that only had 5 songs.

For me there were only 3 songs that got my interest. The title track is the first piece here and starts off with a trumpet winding up to a roar. The song then moves into a driving rhythm that gets your juices flowing. This is probably the one piece here that could be called a typical MF work. The next two songs NEVER appealed to me. "Cheshire Cat Walk" and "Invitation" would probably be decent songs for other, more traditional fusion jazz artists but they are SO out of place on an MF album. Ugh!

The final two works, "Pagliacci" & "Swamp" are also two different sounding songs but done with more flair. Pagliacci actually became one of the most popular Marynard pieces to be played in concert during this period. While on the album it's interesting and fun in a sort of disco manner, live it became this 20 minute monster that featured Bobby Militelo in a 10 minute flute condenza. All three times I got to hear him he would draw multiple standing ovations during his solo. One of the absolute masters!

If you are looking for a more traditional MF album you may want to pass on this one. While it does have some good pieces it's definitely not what we were expecting back in the mid-1970's. But it is a good addition if you are looking just to round out your MF collection.

Maynard's Best Album (in my opinion).......2006-04-22

Yes, I was a horn player through high school and college in the late '70's and early '80's. Everybody loves "Chameleon" and I do too, but in my opinion Primal Scream is his finest album ever.

Nobody has ever played the high register with the kind of power, intensity and flexibility Maynard did. Interestingly enough though, this album doesn't showcase that talent nearly as much as his other work does. He does of course rip off some goose-bump raising screamers as always, but they don't dominate the album.

Check out Mark Colby's monster saxophone solo in the title tune. And "Cheshire Cat Walk" is indeed a killer of a chart, although it took a while to grow on me initially. Once it did however, the Chick Corea/Maynard improvisation duel in "Cat Walk" is easily the best part of the album.

Primal Scream came out at the height of the disco craze, and "Pagliacci" is, well, pure disco. The arrangement is done so well though that you can't help but like it as you listen to Maynard's horn soar over the rest of the orchestra.

Very happy to see this album finally released on CD.

Maynard + Chick Corea = Musical Bliss.......2004-07-16

Having waited several decades for this 1976 album to appear on cd, this is a most welcome addition to the Maynard catalogue. Although from the more commercialized Maynard musical period, it nonetheless is an essential acquisition for the Maynard fan. With the legendary Bob James as producer, as well as guest musicians such as Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, and Dave Sanborn, you can be assured of impeccable instrumentation/arrangements. Maynard does his own intense interpretaion of Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" from the opera of the same name, but for me, the real showpiece of the album is Chick Corea's "The Cheshire Cat Walk," written especially for this album. If you worship Chick Corea's 70's musical output, stop reading this and just go buy the cd. Chick has crafted a wonderful ten-minute Spanish-tinged tour de force just perfect for Maynard's soaring improvisation. To hear Maynard and Chick on synthesizer musically "duel" is worth the price of admission alone. Don't miss it !

classic Tomlin at her best.......2005-11-29

This is a rare album that is really worth owning--that is, if you are able to find it. Lily Tomlin is nothing short of a comedic GENIUS. The way she juxtaposes and layers the dialogues between her characters is HYSTERICAL and cutting edge. An example of her zany characters, being Lucille, the rubber freak. Though, she comes across as a modern day alcoholic, the woman has actually been covering an addiction to pencil erasers, the rubber backing on rugs and raincoats for YEARS. Does it sound weird? Well, it is, but it is weird in one of those delightfully authentic, ironic Lily Tomlin ways. What's more, this album shows off her talent for conveying the sadness of celebrity (when she plays herself, being interviewed by a journalist with a high pitched voice, also played by Tomlin), as well as a high octane sorority sister (amongst others).

Though, this album has been around for a few decades, at this point, it comes off as timeless and a current time capsule glimpse into the manic comic gifts of Lily Tomlin.

Funny stuff.......2004-10-14

This album from 1975 was/is one of the most creative, inventive comedy albums ever. Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner conceived an ingenious way to use sound effects and editing to have Lily interact with her characters. The album goes back and forth between recordings of Lily live on stage and being "interviewed" by a magazine reporter for publicity. We, the listener, get to meet Lily's next-door neighbor, Lucille, who is a rubber freak. We meet the high-pitched voice reporter who comes to Lily's house to interview her. We hear Lily playing ping-pong ball, swimming, driving in a car all while talking to the interviewer. It is very funny and fun to listen to. Lily is brilliant in her characters as usual and this album was a wonderful concept. Finally it is on CD. It was nominated for a Grammy for best comedy recording. Buy this CD to enjoy the brilliance of Lily Tomlin. She is a comedy genious.
