At the beginning of the 1960s, at the Berklee College of Music, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eByard Lancaster\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e met some feisty friends: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSonny Sharrock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDave Burrell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Daniel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSunny Murray Quintet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlbert Ayler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eIt's Not Up To Us\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJef Gilson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eUs\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMother Africa\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eExactement\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eFunny Funky Rib Crib\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eFunny Funky Rib Crib\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an unforgettable recording (made up of several sessions dating from the middle of 1974) of creative jazz overwhelmed by funk and soul. If Lancaster had already made successful albums in the same genre -- notably \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eNew Horizons\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, under the name \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSounds Of Liberation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e which he co-led with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKhan Jamal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e -- this one is an homage to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Brown\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSammy Davis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, enjoying the company of a host of guests including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrançois Tusques\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (electric piano), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eClint Jackson III\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (trumpet), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrançois Nyombo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (guitar), and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Traindl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (trombone). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eFunny Funky Rib Crib\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's cover is a three-quarter profile portrait of the saxophonist (who can also be heard on flute, piano and even vocals), however, on the record, it is the whole group, inspired and frenetic, that tests the melodies of \"Just Test,\" \"Dogtown,\" or \"Rib Crib\" -- the two versions of which display leader Lancaster's art of nuance. On both sides of the album, the group also moves into a calmer groove, infused by blues and soul, \"Work And Pray\" and \"Loving Kindness\" are meditative tracks where listeners can lay back and relax before asking for more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47947903893722,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/FFL097LP_PROD.jpg?v=1780461478","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/byard-lancaster-funny-funky-rib-crib-vinyl-lp-pre-order-out-7-10-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
