Second Wave Reissue edition
Roland Haynes
This 1975 album is one of a kind in lots of
ways. First, it's keyboardist Roland Haynes'
only album. But more importantly, Second
Wave has a sound--and line-up--unlike pretty
much any other jazz fusion album to come
out before or since. Anchored by a fantastic
rhythm section of Carl Burnett (Cal Tjader,
Vince Guaraldi and most notably Gene Harris
and The Three Sounds) and Henry "The
Skipper" Franklin (leader on a couple of Black
Jazz titles still to come, plus Ornette Coleman,
Don Cherry, Hugh Masekela, and many others), the album
features dueling Fender Rhodes tickled by Haynes and Kirk Lightsey, who played with
everyone from Chet Baker to Pharoah Sanders to Sonny Stitt, not to mention a bunch of
Black Jazz dates. The cascading sound of the two electric pianos, one (Lightsey's) often
driven through a wah-wah pedal, gives Second Wave a special vibe all its own; there are
not horns or guitars getting in the way of these mindblowing keyboard jams. Some folks
might hear a little '70s-era Miles Davis when Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett and/
or Herbie Hancock were in the band, and Hancock's own Head Hunters album comes
to mind (as well later fusion dudes like Jan Hammer and Bill Bruford), but Second Wave
is sui generis. Our Real Gone reissue is remastered for CD and vinyl by Mike Milchner
at Sonic Vision, with LP lacquer cutting by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made
Music, and features new liner notes by Pat Thomas, author of Listen, Whitey! The Sights
and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975, that include a couple of quotes from drummer
Burnett and bassist Franklin. First ever time reissued on vinyl!
