Vampi Soul, 1972/1974. New Copy CD
A cool collection of very unusual grooves from Argentine composer/guitarist Rodolfo Alchourron -- part of a generation of groundbreaking musicians in his homeland that also included Lalo Schifrin and Gato Barbieri -- yet unlike those artists, a talent that never achieved greater global fame!
The first album here -- the initial Santa Y Clarificacion set -- is very much like something Lalo Schifrin might do, but even more offbeat -- as it's a weird blend of jazzy instrumentation, funky rhythms, and spacious sounds that would definitely be right at home in a film score -- yet which stretch out even more in the expanded space of the album's long tracks!
Instrumentation includes Organ, tenor, alto, flute, and some great electric bass and drums -- really romping at the bottom, and driving the tunes along wonderfully. There's a bit of wordless vocals at a few spare points -- breezily grooving along --
on titles that include "Clarificacion", "El Stanabancos", "No Divaguen", "Melopea", and "Pajaros Sueltos". The second album -- Santa Y Clarificacion -- has a similar groove, but one that goes out even more -- almost a touch more of a fusion influence at points, although there's still some great horn charts that continue a soundtrack vibe. Horns cascade beautifully, falling into some great chord changes and washes of color that really warm things up -- and titles include "Vals Trunco", "Esas Dos Cosas Benditas", "Casi Un Tango", "Vals En La Muy Sostenido", and "Algunos Dias Alguna Noches".
