Make that 10 Stars.......2006-02-21

Oh dear, some poor soul doesn't know how to read simple instructions. The other reviewer here rates this CD highly in words but only gave it one star. Oops! I can only make up for that blunder a little because this compilation deserves a perfect '10'. It is perfection in both sound quality and quality of the sounds. It's a remarkable mix of jazz, funk, R&B, and a trip to the moon on gossamer wings. It's trippy, it's heavy and it's groovy.
I ain't never coming back to the 21st century!

A little history....................2005-11-15

Flying Dutchman, the brainchild of the famous writer/producer Bob Thiele, was one of the most innovative jazz labels to emerge in the late sixties/early seventies. The roster was wide and varied, but had a common theme: quality. The music had an edge to it that was complemented by the well-designed gatefold sleeves with comprehensive notes. The label ran from 1969 to 1976 after which some of the artists were transferred to RCA, who had been distributing the label. In this anthology we have tried to encapsulate the breath and quality of the label by featuring the main artists that recorded for it and its subsidiaries. We feature many of the popular tracks from the label, although we have deliberately omitted a few tracks that have been reissued or included in other compilations on numerous occasions.
