Frank Lowe - Fresh (1975)

 

Information

Frank's 3rd album features the help of the Bowie Brothers in churning out a pair of Monk tunes, and 3 Lowe originals. There's moments of far-reaching freakouts, and moments of clear and concise jamming. I've been really enjoying the U.K. based Black Lion releases pretty constantly over the years. It's always a treat when the internet gods bless me with a new find, and I hope this share gives you the same feelings

Frank Lowe - Decision in Paradise (1984)

Information

I was drawn to this record by the simplicity of the cover. It reminded me of this murual I seen as a kid, when I would visit the downtown area on the weekends, with my Grandmother. I'm only familiar with Frank's sophomore record, which completely blew my brains out, so it was only fitting to see if he still had the chops mid-career. Needless to say this record does not dissppoint. Doubly so with the group Frank has playing with him. Most notably the prolific trumpeter Don Cherry. I've been meaning to get around to posting his Brown Rice album, which to me is his magnum opus.
