"Don't
Look Back" is an album led by American saxophonist Harold Vick recorded in
1974 and released on the Strata-East label.
This
is one of my favourite Strata-East albums and a complete joy to listen to.
There's something unique about Harold Vick's saxaphone sound that made me want
to look deeper into his career.
"Don't
Look Back" was recorded and released in the wake of Harold Vick's recovery
from a heart attack, which may partially explain the passion with which he
approaches his playing throughout.
One
of the best-ever Strata East sessions! The album's a masterfully conceived
session by reed player Harold Vick – best known to the world as the funky
tenorist from albums by John Patton and Jack McDuff in the 60s, but emerging
here as an incredibly sensitive soul jazz player, capable of turning out some
incredibly sophisticated and emotional compositions. Vick produced and wrote
all the material on the album, and other players include Joe Bonner, Virgil
Jones, and Sam Jones. The record's darn tough to find, and is a treasure all
the way through. Titles include "Don't Look Back", "Melody For
Bu", "Stop & Cop", "Senor Zamora" and "Lucille". (Dusty

you find it, buy this album!

ReplyDeleteUwe (from Germany)
Rejoice at Easter and enjoy the leisure time. Cheers Uwe.
DeleteThanks for the post! Strata East is definitely one of my favorite labels but this one is still missing in my collection...
ReplyDeleteMister W
Thank you very much, Vitko, for this ultra Hi-Fi rip. I had this one on a regular fidelity mp3 rip.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great music.
ReplyDeletethanks Vitko indeed a fantastic upgrade!
ReplyDeletewhat's next ?
ReplyDeleteI'll add, of course, even more good music .... what else? :)

ReplyDeleteGreat thanks!!!
ReplyDeletethank you, appreciated!
ReplyDeleteVitko, thanks. Now I'v'e got three whole Vick albums!
ReplyDeleteDiscogs lists seven (and there's one more out there under the pseudonym of "Sir Edward", sort of a Pharoah Sanders rip off, er - tribute.)
solid record - Strata-East didn't have any 'duds' that I ever heard
ReplyDeleteYou kind of put yourself in the research of old posts and gave me a lot of work, I didn't even know I needed to restore so many download links. Okay, this one works, but a lot of them are out of order. It will take me quite a while to rebuild it all, but I have to inform you that there will be no more downloads from the blog, but a download link will have to be ordered, as we have been doing for the last couple of months.
DeleteCheers!
