The ship has sailed.
Atlantic Records producer Arif Mardin died Sunday. He was 74. His list of credits is absurdly diverse- John Prine, Bette Midler, Phil Collins, Sonny Stitt, Hall & Oates, and Doug Sahm are among the hundreds of artists he produced. Mardin oversaw dozens of jazz sessions in the 1960s, including this '66 Charles Lloyd date. "Love Ship" is clearly a "meditation" on John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders' Meditations. Young Keith Jarrett's explorations are intruiging, while stalwarts Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette provide an anchor.
