Did you ever wonder who invented Drum 'n' Bass? Listen to "125th Street Congress". Hey, it's 1973.... No more questions. I keep saying - this is one of the most influential albums of the 20th century. My rating: a million stars!

Anayanis

Agreed. Drum 'n' Bass was only ONE example how influential Sweetnighter was. Drum 'n' Bass is not important at all. Will be long forgotten when this album is still moving on.

Kann

I agree with "one of the most influential albums of the 20th century". That's why I do not understand what's the idea behind degrading music visionaries and pioneers by associating their masterpieces of free musical expression with the straitjacket of rhythm dogmas that have been labelled mostly for marketing reasons. Drum 'n' Bass is not the measure of all things but rather temporary fashion with an expiry date while it was Joe Zawinul who raised a few bars for eternity.

Forget BITCHES BREW. This is the ONE!!! Criminally underrated LP. When critics had ears they might have noticed that this one is much more influential on musical directions than the often recalled Bitches Brew which is IMO a completely overrated LP. Here on SWEETNIGHTER you can find/hear what was comming next: Fusion, World Music, HipHop, Trance and even Drum 'n' Bass. OPEN YOUR EARS!!!

Paxondano

Agreed. "Bitches Brew" is excellent, but is somewhat over-long, and overstays its welcome to some extent. This album, on the other hand, passes way too quickly. I've just picked up a copy of this in amongst a fairly large jazz job lot I've just purchased - my initial impression was to start with the more obvious albums first (Miles Davis, Count Basie etc) but I decided to play this one first. And what a revelation!! Now I'm kicking myself: why on earth has it taken me nearly 50 years to hear this album for the first time?? Easily my "previously-unheard" album of the year, no contest.

Blackredeemer

My dad had this one on wax which I was able to procure when he got rid of all his vinyl in favor of CDs. Ohhhhh man you are so spot-on! This album is so underrated, it's ridiculous it's not mentioned in the same canon as Herbie's "Headhunters," Miles' "Bitches Brew," or any of Donald Byrd's early 70's jams.
