Album Description "Garcia brings a quality and pure tonality that he would rarely revisit, either on his own or in the context of the Grateful Dead." -- All Music Guide * A classic, this record is Jerry Garcia's first non-Grateful Dead work! * Special digipak reissue never available before in America features stunning art by Mati Klarwein. * Hooteroll? shows early-era Dead influence, yet incorporates the years of experience accrued by Garcia. Some very unique music is created in this session, and lets the listener see how Garcia could branch out to do something different--more experimental, more off-the-cuff, and more spontaneous. * Using a seven-piece band and implementing organs, sax, trumpet, guitars, bass, and drums, kaleidoscopic musical waves and journeys combine to make a very diverse and jam-filled record. Howard Wales: organ, piano Jerry Garcia: guitar John Kahn: bass Curly Cook: rhythm guitar Bill Vitt, Michael Marinelli: drums Ken Balzall: trumpet Martin Fierro: saxophone, flute Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA Trip To What Next? mj7den | Stevens Point , WI | 02/04/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Enjoy Hooteroll? and Side Trips Vol. 1 for the fantastic Hammond playing by Howard Wales and it doesn't hurt that JG comes along with the package. I have owned the original Hooteroll? release on Lp record since the mid 1970's and was spoiled by Howard's playing. He squeezes every button on the B3 and pushes the Leslie to it's limits using every tweak and whistle the horn can throw. I've seen several good Hammond players live throughout the years but none of them pushed it to the limits like Howard does and I've always walked away from those concerts feeling somewhat disappointed. My only disappointment with the CD release of Hooteroll? is the fact that one of the better songs where Howard really pushes the envelope was left off the CD. What happened to "A Trip To What Next"? The song was replaced by "Evening In Marin" which is a re mix or second take of "Up From The Desert". It would have been a gem to include all the material on the new CD. Hopefully "A Trip To What Next" will be released on Side Trips Vol. 2. Hooteroll? If your a Garcia fan and haven't heard it... your in for a treat. One of the best projects in Jerry's discography." Hooter-what? Eddie Landsberg | Tokyo, Japan | 10/03/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Grateful Dead were clearly the grand-daddies of all the Jam Bands that would follow, but even in light of that it is still interesting how far ahead of its time this particular album is... especially in light of the million bands that would follow in the footsteps of Phish and JTQ - - and so here it is, a Hammond Driven / groove mixed with trippy fusion album from the source... and considering that it was recorded back in 1971, it is amazing. As for the sound... overall, quite funky at times...in fact, a few of the tracks reminded me of some of the stuff a group called Black Heat was doing around that time - - Though the album is a bit "sloppy" at times, once the band gets into a groove, they're into a groove... I think a key problem is the bass playing on the album (both organ and real) - - sometimes a bit out of sync, though everything else is working... Howard Wales's playing itself is very interesting... at times very gospel influenced (he really works the Leslie and Drawbars!), but suddenly he might start ripping into a Jimmy Smith type solo or some groovy chord comp. (Could be the acid kicking in?) - - between Garcia and rhythm guitarist Curly Cook, the groove is really driving... Bill Vitt the drummers also keeps things hot and on the edge.... though a bit inconsistent at times, suddenly, the track will sound like its about to flop and next thing you know, its really hot, gritty, funky or something good is happening... As for my favorite track... Uncle Martin's - - a sampling DJ/acid Jazzheads wet dream... '70s porno soundtrack funky... and I mean that in a positive way ! ! ! Wales is really ripping on that one... Vitt is outfunking Bernard Purdie... the bass player IS with it... and Jerry Garcia's backing is REALLY REALLY REALLY funky ! Overall, I'm tempted to give the album 4 stars, but when the band is cooking... they're so funky, tripped out and way out there, its impossible not to forgive the occasional jammy incoherence now and then." A great find for the Jerry fan ECU_Classic_Music_Fan | Charlotte, NC United States | 09/05/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "From the multicolored artwork to the spaced out guitar and organs this is a classic piece of 70's pop-jazz (just kind of made up that category but it's hard to call this fusion). It sounds like Jerry was exploring some of the same ground Miles Davis was exploring but he still keeps the music in the Grateful Dead genre. The results are a little different but make for an enjoyable journey that any fan of the dead or Garcia should enjoy."
