The Loop
Vibes player Johnny Lytle was one of the heroes of the early acid jazz club circuit, with his cuts 'Selim' and 'The Man' being anthems of the scene.
The Ohio born playerâs first album, as a leader was on the Jazzland label in 1962 with âNice And Easyâ and his second, three years later, on Riverside "The Village Caller" made him a star in the jazz world. When Riverside encountered difficulties, co-owner Orrin Keepnews collaborated with Lytle on two albums which came out on the Detroit label Tuba.
The first of these "The Loop" featured his regular trio partners organist Milt Harris and drummer âPeppyâ Hinnant. This line up was augmented on some tracks by former Miles Davisâ pianist Wynton Kelly and bassist George Duvivier. A 7â version of the title track actually spent five weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1966. As for the album, as well as the acid jazz cut 'The Man' it features a stunning version of Duke Pearson's 'Christo Redentor' and the dancefloor friendly 'Possum Grease' and 'Hot Sauce'. The band also stretch out on extended track âThe Shysterâ.
âThe Loopâ is a classic album and Aceâs pressing is the first time it has been legally reissued on vinyl.
