Smiley Winters



Smiley Winters : Smiley Etc.
Arhoolie 8004/5.

Recorded at Sierra Sound Studios, Berkeley, California. March 1969.

The final, and possibly finest instalment from G.Raf. For now anyway, apparently there's more where this came from. Maybe some generous comments could make all the difference.

This is power jazz @ 200mph. Born in St Louis, and father of ten, William Richard takes charge of this heavy session. Connected to many of the Bay area jazz giants including Phaorah Sanders, John Handy and Roy Porter to name a few. He is joined by Bert Wilson on Sax, Barbara Donald Trumpet and Chris Amberger on Bass. It's a double lp, so there'll be 2 files. Check out "Two Trains" Dynamite !

    whoa. Smiley indeed. The slower tones of 'love is enlightenment' are more to my tastes, but this is a raw one. Nice find! Thank you for this.

    Thanks, sounds interesting. Funny it's on Arhollie which is better known as a roots music label than a jazz one.
    By the way, I put a link to your blog on my blog. Would be pleased if you link too.
    Cheers
