David Axelrod "Heavy Axe"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Fantasy, World, 2023, CR00521, 0888072420618, 180g Vinyl, Reissue

David Axelrod’s 1974 release, Heavy Axe, is a polarizing yet fascinating pivot point in the legendary producer-arranger’s catalog, shifting away from his signature gothic, Blake-inspired tone poems toward mid-70s jazz-funk, commercial soul-jazz, and orchestral pop fusion. Produced by jazz icon Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, the album serves more as a showcase for a powerhouse 23-piece studio orchestra than a singular conceptual piece.
