I haven't listened to in in at least 30 years. I'm going to have to dust it off and listen to the rest of it. Thanks for reminding me of this album. I haven’t listened to in in at least 30 years.

He really knew how to ride the wave of energy. While I don't own Fenix, I do have Tupac Amaru on a 1973 Flying Dutchman compilation entitled The Legend of Gato Barbieri - awesome. Also fabulous albums from this era are Latin America - Chapters I and II. Another great one that completes the trilogy is 1974's Chapter Three: Viva Emiliano Zapata with orchestration by Chico O'Farrill. Gato's huge sound just soars over the music. So interesting to compare the Cherry records with those of the early 70's where the Gato sound had truly solidified. The smooth stuff is still worth a listen if only to hear Gato's growl and the occasional avant altissimo screech. Thanks for posting this!! Gato is the man!

You're right, it's where he's sitting on the fence between avant Gato and smooth Gato - and there's where I like him best : ) Thanks for the post. That’s always been my favourite Gato album.

Only one small quibble: no synth on these tunes; that's Rhodes e-piano through pedals and boxes, and maybe an echoplex and Leslie speaker, Joe Beck with wah-wah and volume pedal, and the miscellaneous strangeness is Nana on berimbau and stuff. This is only a year or so after Airto turned up on "Miles At Filmore", and many of us spent the winter listening over and over and saying "Who the heck is making THAT sound THERE, and how?" Keep the rarities coming! Any chance of a turning up Jeremy Steig's "Monium"? I know these tracks well; I had this on vinyl when it came out.

And second the props for other Gato -- and the Cherry albums are just a whole nother world of classic. That Tupac was named after this one.

On the music, I can see why you put in a reference to Alice Coltrane, but for me the strongest affinity is with Pharoah Sanders. Seeing JBull's mention of 'Dogon AD', I have to ask whether you will be taking requests for summer re-ups this year, because that is currently top of my wish list (having just bought and enjoyed the CD of 'Coon Bid'ness'. Keep up the good work...

Thanks--and for all the others (I've found many, many super albums, from "Dogon A.D." to Kaoru Abe blasts, thanks to your postings). I can happily recommend that anyone who likes these Gato tracks should check out his early stuff (up to "Latino America") and the albums he made with Don Cherry in the mid-1960s.
