Reissued on CD as part of Blue Notes Rare Groove series, Carryin On was Grant
Greens first album for Blue Note since 1965, an absence of four years during
which he recorded just two albums for other labels. Greens return was
accompanied by a seismic shift in direction -- Carryin On was an album of
commercially accessible jazz-funk with a heavy R&B influence, plus miles and
miles of Fender Rhodes electric piano. It would typify Greens approach over the
next few years, which later made him a hero among acid-jazz aficionados, even
though it was the last thing purists wanted to hear from him. Those audiences
will certainly be split over Carryin On, whose entire first half is devoted to
R&B covers -- the Meters Ease Back; Little Anthony & the Imperials doo wop
standard Hurt So Bad; and a tense, barely recognizable version of James Browns I
Dont Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing. The hottest soloing comes on Greens
original Upshot, and closer Cease the Bombing -- though it has no lyrics -- has
all the hallmarks of a starry-eyed save-the-world anthem, yet was later covered
by Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers. The presence of Brown-inspired funky drummer
Idris Muhammad virtually guarantees a load of sample-ready breakbeats, and Green
and the rest of the mostly anonymous sextet work a simmering groove over his
propulsive rhythms. Greens playing features more chordal work than usual, but
gets very bluesy when he does grab the spotlight. While it wont win over fans of
Greens older work, Carryin On is a solid addition to any
acid-jazz/funk/rare-groove library, as are most of Greens albums from this
period.~Steve Huey
