Night in Tunisia ------   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info Although the all-stars featured on this live set (bairtonist Hamiet Bluiett, pianist Don Pullen, bassist Fred Hopkins, drummer Idris Muhammad and percussionist Chief Bey) were familiar with each other's playing, this particular quintet also existed for the one week that they played at the New York club Carlos I. Bluiett and the late Pullen had complementary styles, quite exploratory yet at times surprisingly accessible. Pullen had the ability to play dense, atonal phrases in a catchy, rhythmic fashion, and his approach is the most memorable aspect of the set. Muhammad and Bey complement each other quite well, and Hopkins was always a versatile and powerful musician, both as a soloist and as an accompanist. As for Bluiett, he has long been the master of high-note baritone playing; his soloing is almost traditional during parts of "Oleo," and he contributed the first three originals, which are inside/outside and very viable vehicles for advanced improvising. The one minus to the set is the rendition of "A Night In Tunisia," which, after a slow out-of-tempo introduction, becomes an endless display for high-note screeching by Bluiett. That misstep aside, the five lengthy pieces (only "Tunisia" is under ten minutes) give listeners an opportunity to hear a unique and short-lived band. ~ Scott Yanow   Compilation Appearances Every Tone A Testimony Justin Time Records 20th Anniversary   Associated Artists and Works Makin' Whoopee ~ King Various Artists Willis, Larry   Technical Info Release Date : 06/17/1997 Original Release Date : 1986 Catalog ID : 9129 Label : Justin Time Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Live Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00068944912926    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
