Manufacturer: Pure Pleasure
Original label: CTI

Recorded over two days in December of 1972 at Rudy
Van Gelder's Englewood, New Jersey home studio,
vibraphonist Milt Jackson's 'Sunflower' is the
first -- and best -- of his three albums for Creed
Taylor's CTI imprint. (And one of the finest
offerings on the label.) With a core band
consisting of Herbie Hancock (playing electric and
acoustic piano), bassist Ron Carter, drummer
Billy Cobham, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard,
drummer/percussionist Ralph McDonald, and
guitarist Jay Berliner. A chamber orchestra
exquisitely arranged and conducted by Don Sebesky
adorns the session as well. Jackson's 'For Someone
I Love', opens the five-tune set, with Berliner
playing solo flamenco guitar before the vibes,
trumpet, and elements from the chamber orchestra
delicately, impressionistically color the
background. It gradually moves into a languid,
bluesy ballad that slowly gains in both texture
and dynamic until the strings trill tensely.
Hubbard and Hancock engage them in solos that
gently swing out the tune. The reading of Michel
Legrand's 'What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your
Life' is a gorgeous showcase for Jackson; his
solo dominates the arrangement. Carter gets
downright funky on his upright to introduce Thom
Bell's 'People Make The World Go Round,' and
Hancock follows him on Rhodes. Jackson takes the
melody, striking a layered contrast as Hubbard
slips around all three playing an extension of the
melody with requisite taste, fluidity, and taut
phrasing. Hancock gets funky to the bone in his
brief solo, as the vibes soar around and through
his phrases. The title track is a Hubbard
composition that floats and hovers with a Latin
backbeat before shifting tempos as the solos
begin. The expanded harmonic palette of trumpet
with the reeds, woodwinds, and strings on the
melody add an exotic textural palette for his
solo. Jackson's 'SKJ' closes the set with an
old-school, swinging hard bop blues with barely
detectable embellishments by Sebesky. While
'Sunflower' sometimes feels more like a group
session rather than a Jackson-led one, that's part
of its exquisite beauty.
