Milt Jackson “Sunflower”
A friend had blessed me with this gem. Sunflower was recorded over two days in the month of December, 1972 on CTI Records. The album was produced by Creed Taylor, the founder of CTI. It was arranged and conducted by Don Sebesky.
Line Up
- Milt Jackson on the Vibes
- Herbie Hancock on Piano
- Mr. Ron Carter on the Bass
- Billy Cobham playing Drums
- Ralph MacDonald for Percussion
- Jay Berliner on Guitar
- Freddie Hubbard on the Trumpet and Flugelhorn
- Phil Bodner on the Flute
- George Marge on Clarinet
- Romeo Penque playing the English Horn and Oboe
- Max Ellen, Paul Gershman, Emanuel Green, Charles Libove, Joe Malin, David Nadien, Gene Orloff, Elliot Rosoff, Irving Spice for Violin
- Charles McCracken, George Ricci, Alan Shulman on the Cello
- Margaret Ross for the Harp
The musicians that played on Sunflower create a very authentic, and raw jazz fusion sound. This record could easily be one to sum up a few decades of jazz music, mainly because it houses many different musicians with many different backgrounds and styles. Cobham’s energetic drumming, Herbie’s earthy tone, Freddie’s traditional Bebop style, Ron’s momentum, and Milt’s consistancy push an unmeasured depth on the music. These jazz stars have lengthy discographies of work they have contributed to. Some of jazz music’s greats. A joint like this is cool to have in your hands and sounds great when in rotation!

When I first picked this record up at a store a few years back I was real happy because this album in particular has a unique sound. A collection of musicians and instruments that simultaneously create a heavy, deep, murky, spacious, lofty, and light harmony that complements the melodies of these grooves. Bobbi Humphrey has contributed to many pieces of work and recorded over a dozen records threwout the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. A number of artists have also sampled her music.
