Originally released in 1973 on Encounter Records, Profiles Sands of Time was produced by Bernard Purdie (a living, walking definition of soul-jazz drumming), and the album bears his signature sound. With Don Sands on organ, Dave Barron on guitar, Seldon Powell on tenor sax, Garnett Brown on trombone, Jimmy Owens on trumpet, Paul Martinez on bass, and Purdie and Butchman Bateman sharing the drum kit, with help from percussionist Norman Pride, the album catches an easy, gently funky shuffle tone from the opening track, Barrons 99 Baseball, and then never lets go. Instrumental versions of Al Greens Lets Stay Together, Isaac Hayes Shaft, and Jimmy Webbs (via Isaac Hayes) By the Time I Get to Phoenix all fall into a delightful rainy-day groove, making Sands of Time somewhat of a lost classic.[Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD-R and is manufactured on demand]
