Together Brothers [Soundtrack]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This 1974 soundtrack owes quite a bit to Curtis Mayfield's Superfly; if anything, White ladles up even more violins to complement the wah-wah guitars and chase-scene/love-scene dynamics. Enjoyable if slight, Together Brothers made its biggest mark more than two decades later when the title theme became the basis of Quad City DJs' "C'Mon 'N Ride It (the Train)." --Rickey Wright

Is there really only four?.......2003-02-02
Now that's cleared up, on to the review. This is an amazing cd that captures "The Four Brothers" wonderful sound. This was recorded on February 11, 1957 in basically one take. The give and take of the musicians, the friendship all comes through in the music.
And what music it is - there is, of course, "Four and One Moore" written by Gerry Mulligan, where everybody gets to strut their stuff. When you listen to "So Blue", you can almost see the sad man sitting at the bar, wondering how to get his love back. "The Swinging Door" will remind you that these very talented musicians worked with some of the best big bands of all time - Woody Herman, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman. "Four In The Hand" written by Manny Albam showcases the marvelous interplay between the saxophones. "A Quick One", according to the liner notes, was done "just for kicks" shines with lighthearted joy. "Four Brothers" is an old favorite of mine and they do a stupendous job with it, breathing new life into this jazz standard. All the rest of the music - "Ten Years Later", "The Pretty One", "Aged in Wood" is as solid and great as the music preceding it.
So if you want to hear real jazz, made by real jazz musicians, I recommend this cd highly. A perfect cd for a Sunday afternoon or even in your car driving to work on Monday. Who knows, it might even chase away those Monday blues, it's _that_ good.

Real cool, versatile & stylistic (4&1/2 stars).......2006-11-29
Average.......2003-07-10
Maybe it sounded better in '74..........2003-06-08
Repetitive, unoriginal, and missing the sultry sound that so categorizes White's music, the score's only strong suit is the fact that the theme was later recycled in the 90's dance hit "Come and Ride This Train" by Quad City DJ 's.
It's too bad that the remainder of the album is so forgettable.
But, it is Barry; thus, I can't give him less than three stars.

Fire Music!!!!!.......2004-03-24
Sabir Mateen is one of the most underrated multi-instrumentalists working in New York today. Originally from the West Coast, Mateen played in Horace Tapscott's legendary Pan-African Orchestra and did a stint with Sun Ra. Relocating to New York in the 80s, Mateen quickly became a staple of the struggling downtown free jazz scene. Along with Tom Bruno, Matt Heyner and Daniel Carter he formed the legendary underground (literally) quartet Test, which played regularly in the Astor Place subway station. Mateen has also formed fruitful partnerships with William Parker, Sunny Murray and a host of younger downtowners, whose careers he's helped to build. Drake, originally a Chicagoan, is one of the most groove-oriented of free jazz drummers. He can play meterless with the best of them, but his forte is the groove, of which he is a master.
This album finds Mateen at the top of his powers, soloing on tenor, alto, clarinet, bass clarinet and flute with equal ease and facility. Mateen is often considered a representative of the "ecstatic" school of improv, but unlike others like David S. Ware, Mateen is always based on a wonderful sense of melodic shape and phrase. And he builds a solo carefully, saving his wild screams till the exact right moment. He is a true master of his instruments. Underneath, Drake sets up infectious grooves on his luscious-sounding drums. His bass drum and toms are so resonant that you don't miss the absence of the bass player. Drake is also a skilled ethnic drummer, particularly on frame drums. Some of his best work is reserved for the North African tar.
Hamid Drake seems almost everywhere these days and is well represented on CD. In fact, Drake is one half of probably the hottest rhythm section in jazz today (the other half is William Parker). But Mateen is woefully underrepresented on disc. Eremite has done a marvelous job of documenting some of Mateen's small group efforts. Let's hope that they keep these discs in print. They are destined to be highly sought after by fans of New York Free Jazz. And both of these musicians are forces to be reckoned with.
