Harvey Mandel - Cristo Redentor.

Now one of you old timers is going to tell me you used to regularly go to his shows.

 

[Kay Bixler]

Is he the guy that used to stretch surgical gloves over his head?

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

Exactly.

 

[Eden Mylunsch]

Didn't see him "regularly" but he played the local college right around the time that "The Snake" was released and I got to see the show. I don't remember a lot about it other than he played a black Les Paul and used a lot of feedback and it was real loud and I was impressed with his playing. I worked at a record store at that time and we sold a lot of his albums for a week or so afterwards.

I may have also seen him with Canned Heat but I'm not sure. That's how things were back then. Brownies....

-Eden (isn't Harvey an heir to the family that developed Mandelbröt?)

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Oh, that's a relief. For a moment I thought we were talking about Howie Mandel.

I remember a recording of a piece with the same title, played by Donald Byrd, when I was 17. It was beautiful.

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

OK, then not exactly.

Same tune. One of my all time favorites. Duke Pearson is the original composer and maybe has the best version, probably due to the Rhodes solo.

On my iPod. Probably played the last time I saw you, but it was noisy.

I remember that trumpet by Byrd and the chorus music with it was just one of my favorites for many years. Just drop dead gorgeous. Music for the soul.
I'm going to look and see if I still have it on an old 33 or did I play it till it died of over use. I think I can hum a little of it but you really have to wail.

Thanks Brian it's still a drop dead gorgeous piece of music. Oh and that piano, how could I ever forget it's feeling also. Music for whatever one thinks of as soul.

 

[Scott Frank]

Also Click.

Sort of a jazzy funeral dirge.

I like it, thanks guys for this thread.

Pearson was quite the Rhodes scholar.

-Eden (one had to Fender for themselves back in those days)

 

[Steve Guattery]

There's also a Charlie Musselwhite version of "Christo Redentor" on "Stand Back" that has Mandel on guitar. It was made before Mandel's own recording of the tune.

 

[Gregg G]

I fender.
