Pachyman - Another Place (LP)
26,90 €*
- Blue Vinyl
Limitiertes blaues Vinyl! Über vier Alben hinweg hat sich Pachyman als
meisterhafter Handwerker des Dub-Reggae bewiesen. Inspiriert von
Legenden wie King Tubby und Scientist, nutzt er Vintage-Equipment,
erschafft monumentale Klangwelten und versteht intuitiv die hypnotische
Kraft der Wiederholung. Mit 'Another Place' geht er einen Schritt
weiter: Er verbindet Dub mit den vielfältigen Einflüssen moderner Musik -
von der Synth-Pop-Ästhetik eines William Onyeabor und Yellow Magic
Orchestra bis hin zu den tiefen, atmosphärischen Klängen von Basic
Channel’s Dub-Techno. Ein Album, das Tradition ehrt und zugleich neue
Klangräume erschließt.

Reissue
“Kenny was a hell of a trumpet player – great style, all his own.” So
wrote Miles Davis in his 1988 memoir. Despite being praised by Davis and
widely admired by his peers, Kenny never received the recognition his prodigious talent deserved. Unlike
Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, he never became a household name, but between
1953 and 1964 he recorded a number of excellent albums, including five
for the iconic Blue Note label, that offered compelling proof of his
star quality. One of his best was Trompeta Toccata, the final
album of his eleven-year spell as a solo artist, which showcased a blend
of astounding trumpet pyrotechnics, harmonic guile, and compositional
skill.
Born in a small town in Texas, McKinley
“Kenny” Dorham began playing the trumpet at ten. After leaving
the army in 1942, he ventured to New York, where he eventually wound
up in Dizzy Gillespie’s group. Following that, he joined singer
Billy Eckstine’s band, then an incubator for bebop talent, before
replacing Miles Davis in his idol Charlie Parker’s quintet. He
appeared on Blue Note’s radar in 1955, releasing the album Afro
Cuban, a pioneering meld of hard bop and Latin music. Following
stints at Riverside and Prestige, Dorham returned to Blue Note in
1961. On his fourth LP for the label, 1963’s Una Mas, the
trumpeter’s band featured Joe Handerson, a young tenor saxophonist
with a compelling and distinctive style. Dorham became a mentor to
Henderson, with whom he collaborated on five Blue Note albums
together between 1963 and 64.

buried treasure, from six of the most noteworthy albums in Blue Note
history: Cannonball Adderley’s Somethin’ Else, Grant Green’s Idle
Moments, Wayne Shorter’s Speak No Evil, Art Blakey and the Jazz
Messengers’ Moanin’, Jimmy Smith’s Back at the Chicken Shack, and Sonny
Clark’s Cool Struttin’. Released on 180gm opaque blue vinyl

saxophone with Les McCann’s soulful and funky piano? You end up with one
of both men’s best albums, an album considered to be one of the
foundational sessions of soul jazz. Turrentine and McCann are joined by
bassist Herbie Lewis (a member of McCann’s group at the time) and
drummer Otis “Candy” Finch. Stand out tracks include Smile, Stacey, the deep blue groove of Soft Pedal Blues and the in-the-pocket soul of Light Blue. That’s where it’s at!
