Dr. Vibes’ 12 Days of Christmas – Day 5:  Quite a lineup on this short gem of a record. I mean, if I could have added Chuck Rainey, Idris Muhammad, and Phil Upchurch to it, it would have been PERFECT but heck, I’ll take this…  This is a nice, short, mildly psychedelic jazz-funk gem, if not quite the explosive results you might expect for a meeting of the minds like Donato & Deodato.  Ray Barretto and Airto are kept on kind of a short leash, for example.  Considering the total album time clocks in at around 30 minutes, one wonders why they couldn’t have stretched out a little more on a few of these tunes.  The band surely could have handled it.

  1. awesome,thank you!!

  2. This is a nice, enjoyable record. Glad to have it. Thank you! Whenever I see Airto’s name I always flash back to a few Grateful Dead concerts I saw where Airto sat in with the drummers for the drums segment.

  3. Thanks! Re why the tracks aren’t stretched out – now I can’t find where I read it recently, but apparently part of the reason that this album is so short is that Donato just disappeared halfway through the sessions, unannounced, and the album needed to be completed without him (he apparently isn’t on a few of the tracks). The title “Where’s J.D.?” refers to this disappearance, although to my ears it’s him on rhodes for that one.
