It was with great sorrow we read about themurder in Florida of this wonderful and talented musician, conductor and composer. There is no rational explanation for the taking of Terry’s life. From our small stash, this is a still sealed and presumed MINT (M) copy of his first album, recorded in 1971 at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio. It’s an amazing snapshot of this era of Jazz. Please find reviews at bottom of page. For best view, super-size photos at top left of this ad, which areconsidered part of this description.

Noted composer of film music, orchestral conductor and bassist extraordinaire Terry Plumeri made his debut as a jazz artist in 1971 with the now landmark release He Who Lives in Many Places. Thishe ground breaking session from the fusion-era features an all-star cast consisting of pianist Herbie Hancock, guitarist John Abercrombie, drummer Michael Smith and percussionist Eric Gravatt. The disc\'s five tracks, all composed by Plumeri, are open-ended in nature, allowing for spontaneous group invention. Beneath Smith\'s propulsive cymbal groove, Underwater plays out like a conversation in slow motion between Plumeri, Hancock and Abercrombie. The bassist\'s stark themes are carefully revealed between stretches of improvised punch. The title track is a striking, brief duet for bass and piano. Plumeri\'s singing upper register lines are supported by Hancock\'s imaginative, classically-influenced approach. Abercrombie\'s distorted guitar plays the lead role on the odd-metered funk vamp Timeworn, held together by Plumeri\'s simple, yet hauntingly repetitive bass line. Venturing full throttle into the realm of free-form, Dayspring America is an exciting adventure full of spontaneous twists and turns. Gravatt\'s percussion tinkering, Hancock\'s aggressiveness on the Fender Rhodes and Plumeri\'s front-and-center bowing creates a plethora of unexpected sound textures. The disc closer, Bees begins with Plumeri\'s angular, stretched-out theme, eerily emulating the unsettling buzz of an angry swarm of yellow jackets. Eventually the groove settles into a driving swing tempo, setting the stage for inspired solos by Hancock and Abercrombie. The passing decades have done little to tarnish the unabashed, coherence exhibited in this music. He Who Lives In Many Places is nothing short of magnificent. The sounds are still fresh, uncontrived and motivated by communal desires.

Fresh off a stint conducting the Moscow Philharmonic...not exactly the way you\'d think a review of a jazz CD would begin is it? But after releasing three Tchaikovsky symphonies with that group, bassist Terry Plumeri dug into his archives and pulled out He Who Lives in Many Places, his jazz debut recorded in 1971 and released on vinyl in 1976. Plumeri is not only a classically trained conductor and musician, he has also written the scores to over fifty films, and is an accomplished photographer. There are many things that stand out about this disc of Plumeri originals, first among them the outstanding supporting cast. Herbie Hancock is on piano and Fender Rhodes, and John Abercrombie, only four years past his Berklee graduation, plays guitar. According to Plumeri s very informative website, it is a rare appearance of the two together. Eric Gravatt, who was drumming with Weather Report at the time, adds percussion in support of drummer Michael Smith. Another interesting ingredient on the CD is Plumeri s use of the Arco bass. It is used here to create some intriguing sonic textures. Plumeri s classical training shows in his proficiency with the bow, which he uses beautifully. The title cut, in fact, could be labeled a classical piece. Hancock shows his rarely used classical chops, while Plumeri s bowed bass sometimes sounds like a violin or cello. Underwater is a great example of the arco bass used with effects. An insistent hi-hat beat from Michael Smith begins the tune, which actually sounds like it could have been recorded under water. Trebles are muted I favor of heavy bass, except for the light tinkling of the upper registers of the Rhodes. Abercrombie and Plumeri share the lead duties, while the rest of the quintet fills in. Gravatt uses a wide variety of percussion instruments in this free form, peaceful tune. On Timeworn , the third of five tracks on the album, Plumeri plays a more traditional role, laying down a nice bass line while Abercrombie and Hancock trade off each other. This song is a little spacey , with some interesting processing effects, and just random noises thrown in here and there. Abercrombie has a nice solo with a judiciously used wah-wah pedal. Dayspring America continues in the ethereal vein of the previous track, with a slightly stronger role for the late Michael Smith, the drummer whose memory this CD is dedicated to. Plumeri s bass thumps out the tempo early on, before picking up the bow to solo later on. Listen through your headphones you ll hear voices, horses galloping...a very entertaining experience! Bees closes the set, with Abercrombie and Plumeri again taking the melody. The guitar/bowed bass combination is a great sound the upper registers of the bowed bass sounding somewhat like Pat Metheny does on a guitar synth. This track is a bit more frenetic that the others on the CD, and it really gets buzzing (pun intended!) by the end. About mid-tune, the bass starts walking quickly, and Hancock takes a wonderful Rhodes solo. At this point, the group has broken out of the free and easy form they ve followed for most of the recording, and are into straight-ahead swing. Smith s drumming stands out again here Abercrombie has a chorus of his own, and he and the bandleader get the hive all worked up to finish the tune. More than just a CD re-lease, this album is a piece of jazz history. Terry Plumeri s jazz debut should be a part of your library.
