░░ In 1972, two years after the release of Robin Kenyatta's seminal Girl
░░ from Martinique outing for ECM, he signed to Atlantic and released
░░ another seminal bit of classy jazz-funk. Gypsy Man, produced by Michael
░░ Cuscuna, has a who's-who lineup of players who would be synonymous with
░░ the newly emerging subgenre of jazz: drummer Billy Cobham (still a member
░░ of the Mahavishnu Orchestra at the time), percussionist Ralph MacDonald,
░░ session drummer Rick Marotta, guitarists Keith Loving and David Spinozza,
░░ pianist Larry Willis on Fender Rhodes, bassist Stanley Clarke (who
░░ released his own classic debut Children of Forever the same year and
░░ played on two of Norman Connors now legendary dates from the period,
░░ Dance of Magic and Dark of Light), and more. The music here is polished,
░░ but complex and deeply emotive. The opener is a very compelling reading
░░ of Gato Barbieri's title theme to "Last Tango in Paris," complete with
░░ sighed backing vocals, "Shaft"-style choppy wah-wah guitars, strings, and
░░ Kenyatta blowing a slightly edgy alto saxophone with great breaks by
░░ Cobham. The Latin percussion in "Another Freight Train" sets its knotty
░░ vamp off nicely, as Kenyatta goes right into the melody doing his best
░░ King Curtis. It's a Kenyatta tune that melds meat-and-potatoes blowing,
░░ fusion-style riffs, and heavy funk. Clarke's fat, in-your-face bassline
░░ and the electric six-string's power chords in "Werewolf" prefigure
░░ Kenyatta's killer flute break that's worthy of Rahsaan Roland Kirk. By
░░ contrast, "Reflective Silence," with its Afro-Cuban percussion and
░░ Kenyatta's soprano playing, offers a view of the emerging spiritual jazz
░░ from the Strata East label. The layers of percussion are Kenyatta's only
░░ accompaniment on the cut. Despite the contemporary bent of these first
░░ four tracks, Kenyatta tosses listeners a curve ball with his beautifully
░░ sweet reading of Stevie Wonder's "Seems So Long," and a
░░ drenched-in-Southern soul take on Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to
░░ Remember" that closes the set. On the way are a pair of fine originals in
░░ the Northern soul-flavored funk of the title track (with vocals by
░░ Kenyatta and Lalomie Washburn), and the South African jazz-tinged
░░ "Melodie Chinoise," no doubt influenced by the township jazz that was
░░ making its way to European and American shores in the music of Abdullah
░░ Ibrahim (then known as Dollar Brand), and Hugh Masekela's less
░░ pop-oriented affairs, and even the bands of Chris McGregor, Johnny Dyani,
░░ and Dudu Pakwana. In sum, of Kenyatta's Atlantic-era recordings, Gypsy
░░ Man stands out mightily as one of the great jazz-funk outings of the
░░ '70s; it is an all but forgotten jazz classic.
