Organist Earland is known far and wide as one of the more inventive,
awe-inspiring, soul-sending practitioners of the B-3. On this set, he still
sounds like the man to beat, but in many instances he instead allows his
bandmates to shine. Those mates include younger firebrands (trumpeter Jim
Rotundi and saxophonist Eric Alexander), as well as longtime sidemen (guitarist
Melvin Sparks and drummer Bobby Durham), helped by percussionist Gary Fritz. Of
course, when Earland wants to burn, he can, and does on many occasions. He
recapitulates a piece from Front Burner which was titled Mom & Dad, but is
re-named Seven of Nine. Its a modal cooker in 10/8 that is even more relentless
than the original with a reworked head for the horns. Earland leads the way on
Carole Kings half-speed Will You Love Me Tomorrow, but the trumpet and tenor,
separately or together, inspire the charge on other cuts; Rotundi quite
naturally on Seven Steps to Heaven, Milestones, and Stella By Starlight.
Alexander is really hitting his stride, getting fluttery and animated on Seven
Steps and Seven of Nine. And Sparks, who is woefully underdocumented these days,
proves why he is still one of the all-time greats. His shimmering chords on
Milestones and fleet single lines in the middle of Seven Steps provide plenty of
evidence for this contention. At first you think this is a head-solo-tail fest,
with the first four cuts running true to predictable form. But then Earland
steps forward, turns up the heat, and things cook along nicely until the end.
This is one of Earlands better efforts in the last ten years of his life,
consistent from start to finish. The burner is in the house, and mightier than
ever.~Michael G. Nastos
