Out Of The Background by Francy Boland, released on SABA in 1967.

Wow! We've always gone on record as liking pianist Francy Boland as part of his big band with drummer Kenny Clarke, but here on this classic Saba/MPS session, the pair wail together in a smaller quartet format – with great help from Jimmy Woode on bass, and Fats Sadi on bongos. The record is incredible, and swings with a groove that's a lot harder than you'd expect from a small group like this. Sadi is especially great, and his bongos really make the cuts wail along nicely! Most cuts are tight little groovers, with a tight modal jazzy sound – as you'd expect from MPS in the classic years. Great cuts include "Dark Eyes", "Dia-Bleu", "Wolf-Gang", and "Father Klook", but the whole album's great! - Dusty Groove

This vinyl issue was produced in 2017 by Jazz Images, presumably a digital-to-vinyl transfer. I know some analogue purists find such reissues distasteful, but I […]
