Acting, Thinking, Feeling Stark Reality, The SKU: NA5094 Barcode: 659457509415 78.00 £78.00 Genre: Jazz Released Date: 31st March 2013 Buying Format: 6LP Box Set Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info “One of the most prized ‘funk’ artifacts of all time, Stark’s project allies Hendrix-stoned guitars, heavily-fuzzed vibraphone and Bitches Brew rhythms…”-Mojo Magazine Acting, Thinking, Feeling marks the first time that psychedelic jazz ensemble The Stark Reality\’s Discovers Hoagy Carmichael\’s Music Shop album has been reissued in full (the 2003 Stones Throw Records anthology Now only contained half of the original album\’s music). The anthology also contains the band\’s out-of-print Roller Coaster Ride (first issued as 1969 on Now-Again in 2003), and a series of recently discovered, previously-unreleased tracks in a 3 CD \”complete works\” box set. Besides the missing Hoagy Carmichael\’s Music Shop songs, the most exciting additions to the Stark Reality\’s oeuvre are the three songs recorded between the earliest incarnation of the band – the big band that recorded \”Theme To Say Brother\” and \”Acting, Thinking, Feeling\” in 1968 – and the slimmed down combo that recorded the Roller Coaster Ride and The Stark Reality Discovers Hoagy Carmichael\’s Music Shop. These recordings display a band in flux, and color the development of Stark\’s genius. We hear the signature sound of his \”plugged in\” vibes for the first time; we hear an early stab at the psychedelic \”Red Yellow Moonbeams\” (and realize why his addition John Abercrombie and his fuzz guitar was crucial to his vision); we hear a sublte change towards a more funk and rock based sound. This anthology thus encapsulates the first known Stark Reality recordings – done for and in performance at WGBH, these transitional big band pieces, and the Roller Coaster Ride and The Stark Reality Discovers Hoagy Carmichael\’s Music Shop albums in full. The liner notes are updated with Ahmad Jamal\’s participation, more photos and full annotation of the additional songs. “The music of the Stark Reality is as playful as it is wild… as fantastic as it is frazzled.”-Rolling Stone Artist Stark Reality, The Genre Jazz , Psychedelia / Garage , Soul / Funk Buying Options 6LP Box Set Format 6LP , Box Set Condition New Country UK Track Listings Merry Go Round Junkman's Song Thirty Days Hath September The Whale The Old Prospector Grandfather Clock Cooking Shooting Stars Rocket Ship Dreams Blue Pillow Swing High Clouds Traveling Bustin' Out of Doors Comrades All You Need to Make Music On Being Black New World Generation Red Yellow Moonbeams [Big Band Version] Red Yellow Moonbeams Nani Pretty Music Roller Coaster Ride Too Much Tenderness Sunday's Song Acting, Thinking, Feeling, Pt. 1 Acting, Thinking, Feeling, Pt. 2 Acting, Thinking, Feeling, Pt. 3 Prelude to Say Brother Theme to Say Brother Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, The BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965 Jazz | 1960's Records | 180g, 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £20.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, The BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 1960's Records SKU: RANDB142LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis We Want Miles Jazz | Get On Down | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th September 2022 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis We Want Miles £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Get On Down SKU: GET51470LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alexandra Shakina All The Way Jazz | Venus | 180g, 1LP Released 25th January 2019 £44.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alexandra Shakina All The Way £44.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Venus SKU: AVEN 0142 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ben Webster Intimate!
