Description

It was a time when the reigning U.S. label for jazz was CTI. The early 1970s also saw another label hit the streets, and with Rudolph Johnson’s Spring Rain, Black Jazz offered a kind of counter to the CTI Sound. Airtight and with little or no reverb, it was an even starker contrast to yet another new label of the time, Europe’s ECM Records. And, with 1971’s Spring Rain, we heard what now sounds even more vibrant, a resonant recording quality that found everyone from Ray Pounds’ drums peppered and punctuated with just the amount of sizzle, akin to what Billy Cobham, Bernard Purdie and Steve Gadd were doing over at CTI.
