Title: Hidden gem
Product review: Ronald Shannon Jackson hails from Texas, and he went to his home state to record this 1988 disc. His band included Masujaa and Cary Denigris on guitar, Zane Massey and Eric Person on alto sax, and John Moody on bass. This disc has Jackson's brand of funky harmolodics. It's pretty good ("Evoking" and "Psychic Greeting" aren't as good as the others) but the CD is hampered by the sound. It was recorded in such a way that the guitars and alto saxes blend together into a mush. Considering the instruments have similar tones and are doubled, a more distinctive recording would have helped immeasurably. Not only is it a rare CD, but the musical gems are buried in the recording. Anyone willing to fight through the recording should get this.
