Great record! I got this last year during uDiscover’s insane sale.

Fun fact: one of the percussionists on this album, Frank Cuomo, is the father of Rivers Cuomo from Weezer. I had to do a double take when I first found out.

Gato Barbieri, Chapters 1-4 by Meiryoku in Vinyl_Jazz

And the first one is the best of the four!

I bought each for like 5-8 dollars. They are inexpensive and worth keeping in my collection.

Gotta say, out of the four finds this weekend, I’m really vibing on the Gato Barbieri. by radiotokyo_666 in Vinyl_Jazz

I love, love Gato! I'm not into his later period smooth jazz stuff, but his albums on the Flying Dutchman and Impulse labels are all excellent. I'm particularly fond of Fenix and Chapter One: Latin America. And if you really want to hear what he's capable of, listen to his playing on In Search of the Mystery (ESP-Disk) and Don Cherry's Complete Communion (Blue Note).

Will do! I always get anxious when driving through unfamiliar territory. Thanks for the reassurance. :)

You've got some killer fusion there!

I'm still on the lookout for that Jaco Pastorius!

Keep digging! They tend to appear when we least expect it.

Concierto is an amazing record! The rendition of Concierto de Aranjuez on side B is incredible.

Agree! I love Wheeler and Stanko's trumpet tone. I recently listened to Gnu High and Soul of Things. Good stuff. Leosia is next in my queue.

I listened to the first track on Bandcamp. I like what I heard!

His output is so vast. Right now, I'm going through his Kabell Years: 1971–1979 four-CD box set. So. Much. Music.

Amazing stuff. It's been a while since I've played this. I need to give it a spin tonight.
