Hi Rich,
Thanks for great post and review. I agree that FAR is a gem but, at for least for me, it is not "hidden". I've owned the recording, in one format or another, since my college days. Luckily one of the formats that I currently own is digital, so I cued it up using my Transporter's remote and I'm listening to it as I type.
You're right, this is one goddamn funky record. Go Herbie Go The man is rocking that Fender Rhodes.
Man, I love the sound of a well played Fender Rhodes electric piano and Herbie was and still is one of the best ever. By the way the record was recorded in 1969, right on the cusp of the fusion jazz movement.
