The better of the two albums the Tony Williams Lifetime recorded in
1970, Turn It Over, is a far more focused and powerful album than the
loose, experimental Ego, and one of the more intense pieces of early
jazz-rock fusion around. In parts, it's like Jimi Hendrix's Band of
Gypsys with much better chops. It's more rock-oriented and darker-hued
than their debut, 1969's Emergency!, and the temporary addition of
ex-Cream member Jack Bruce on bass and vocals alongside stalwart
guitarist John McLaughlin makes this something of a milestone of British
progressive jazz. The album's primary flaw is that unlike the expansive
double album Emergency!, these ten songs are tightly constricted into
pop-song forms -- only a swinging cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Once I
Loved" breaks the five-minute mark, and then only barely -- which reins
in these marvelous soloists too much. This is particularly frustrating
since pieces like the two-part "To Whom It May Concern" feature some
outstanding solos (especially from McLaughlin and organist Larry Young,
the group's secret weapon) that are frustratingly, tantalizingly short.
Expanded to a double album, Turn It Over would probably surpass
Emergency! as a pioneering jazz-rock fusion release; as it is, it's an
exciting but mildly maddening session. Stewart Mason
