Some words on this record: SONNY SHARROCK with MARCUS, STEVE; VITOUS, MIROSLAV & HUMAIR, DANIEL: “Green Line” (Victor – SMJX-10109) very rare 1970 Japan only pressing of this free- jazz blaster. Record balances between heavy thunderous free jazz and intoxicating jazz funk. Recorded and conceived in one take at the Victor Studios in Aoyama, Tokyo on September 11th, 1970. Side A of this disc is the jazz funk slide and opens up with “Melvin” penned by Humair and displaying right from the opening notes a hardcore modal jazz funk groove that will have the funk jazz collector salivation upon hearing it. Next up is "Mr. Sheets At Night", a Marcus family contribution and total snoozer in comparison with the opening track since it is bestowed with quieter, bowed bass tones but after the first track you want them to keep going not take a breather. Heavy duty awaits you on side two that kicks off with a Miroslav Vitous’ piece, a total splatter, ramshackle slice of demented tumbling down free jazz squeak, the quartet steering into a head-on collision course, an orgy of Bukowskian bohemian battle-feral medicine made of out of layers-and-layers of sonic freewheeling free form blowouts. The Sharrock piece “The Echoes” takes this even to the next level of psychic urban hardcore jazz that alternates between these lightning fast runs and picking. Later repressed on the Danish Storyville label, this here is the 1st original pressing as released by Victor records in 1970. TOP COPY!
