MisfitsCafe.com - Tony Williams Lifetime - Turn It Over [1970]

 

Of the two albums The Tony Williams Lifetime recorded in 1970, "Turn It Over" is a far more focused and powerful album than the loose, experimental "Ego", and one of the more intense pieces of early jazz-rock fusion around.  In parts, it's like Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys with much better chops.  It's more rock-oriented and darker-hued than their debut 1969's "Emergency!", and the temporary addition of ex-Cream member Jack Bruce on bass and vocals alongside stalwart guitarist John McLaughlin makes this something of a milestone of British progressive jazz.  The album's primary flaw is that unlike the expansive double album "Emergency!", these ten songs are tightly constricted into pop-song forms — only a swinging cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Once I Loved" breaks the five-minute mark, and then only barely — which reins in these marvelous soloists too much.
