Charles Rouse - Two Is One LP (180g) (MARKDOWN)

A massive jazzrock album in the vein of SOFT MACHINE; MILES DAVIS and THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA which even resembles German Krautrock acts from time to time. A colorful cocktail of many influences from funk and soul to free jazz, Indian and Eastern European traditional music kept together by the brilliant saxophone play of leader Charles Rouse.You think this is an easy one? You think this one only requires a quick description. Well, as a music lover you are well aware never to underestimate a piece of black gold such as this and I am currently left breathless by the intensity of this effort. Jazzrock, fusion, souljazz, a slightly funky approach, it is all present on „Two is one“ which rather should be called „Many are one“ as there are quite a few aspects of the modern electric jazz music after 1969 to be found on this record. So what do we have here? A 1974 band release by saxophonist Charles Rouse, a renowned player with greats like Mel Waldron, Thelonius Monk and Clifford Brown since
