Jazzaggression:

"The complete set: the original 1972 Live at Club7 album and Club7 Live Tapes from 2007— together in a box as 4 LPs!

As Jazzaggression celebrates its 20th anniversary, we knew we had to do something special. So, we went back to our very first release and thought: How can we make it even better? The answer was to bundle the original Live at Club7 release from ’72 with previously unreleased material, giving you, for the first time, the entire session as one complete experience. We returned to the master tapes for fresh transfers and had new lacquers cut by Jukka Sarapaa of Timmion fame. Plus, we dove into the photo archives to include previously unseen photos from the session.

Much has already been written about this Boston-based band, handpicked by George Russell and touring Norway in the early seventies, as well as the series of coincidences that led to its recording by engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug (later known for his work with ECM) in 1971. The story is well-covered in the liner notes of the 8-page booklet that accompanies the box set. To keep it brief here: this music embodies the best of both worlds for rare groove fans—soulful jazz with a killer backbone. But it’s more than that; there’s an esoteric, free-flowing energy in the jazz tracks that resonates even more today than when we first released the Club7 tapes two decades ago.

The music reflects the vision of a nonconformist Webster Lewis in his late 20s, backed by a powerhouse lineup. Tenor Judd Watkins brings an “Isaac Hayes” style to the vocals, while the extraordinary drummer Jimmy Hopps anchors the rhythm with force, alongside Bobby Greene on alto sax and Stan Strickland on tenor sax and flute. Together, they form a quintet with an eclectic selection of songs and a scale of sound that remains unmatched to this day.

Or as Webster himself said back then: “We’ve only just begun.” It’s The Post-Pop, Space Rock, Be-Bop, Gospel Tabernacle Chorus and Orchestra, BABY!"
