RELEASE DATE

It has occasionally been assumed that
Henry Grimes
got this recording date as a reward for his long service in the avant-garde of jazz. Having already honed his musical conception with a varied range of players, from
Benny Goodman
and
Arnett Cobb
to
Lee Morgan
,
Gerry Mulligan
, and
Sonny Rollins
to
McCoy Tyner
,
Steve Lacy
,
Albert Ayler
(including ESP 1020,
Spirits Rejoice
),
Don Cherry
, and
Cecil Taylor
(to name just a few), the service was certainly there, but he got this gig fully on his merits. For
The Call
Grimes teamed with highly original clarinetist
Perry Robinson
(as label owner
Bernard Stollman
has noted, "a virtuoso who merits far wider recognition... and this recording reflects both of their contributions, in equal measure") and stalwart drummer/ESP-Disk' regular
Tom Price
. As a bassist, Grimes's melodic style is well up to the task of being co-equal voice with a horn, resulting in a thoughtful and texturally rewarding LP with a level of quality far above the rote sideman session cliche, and far away from equally cliched ideas of unrelentingly full-bore free jazz. It offers the sound of three excellent musicians listening to each other and responding superbly.
