WOODY SHAW WAS A MASTER.HIS MUSIC WILL STAND THE TESTS OF TIME. I WAS YOUNG WHEN HE WAS CALLED HOME. HIM AND ROY HARGROVE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.AS WELL AS LEE MORGAN AND MILES DAVIS ETC.ETC.REST IN PEACE.
True Indeed! He was blessed not only as an instrumentalist; he was a gifted writer and arranger as well. And I think that was a big reason he was able to attract the best talent around him
I’ve had this album since it first came out. Powerful every time I hear it. Wonderful all star cast of musicians accompanying him. Woody was a masterful trumpet player. He was very much underrated.

Wish they would rerelease this one. Some of Woody's other muse recordings have been rereleased on High Note. This was a high point of sorts for the period - some of the best music being made that no one ( well not many people, at any rate ) was listening to being played by artists of the highest integrity which is Woody Shaw all over. Check out the second chorus of Woody's solo! the whole band turns it all the way up on a moment's notice! Also Cecil McBee especially in this era was laying it down for bassists, and forecasting the type of playing that would make Dave Holland acclaimed as a bandleader in the 90's - time like an atomic clock while laying down patterns that were far from simple even if he managed to make it sound that way!
Please also check out Shaw's stellar album Rosewood released in 1977. It features the superb Joe Henderson in top form on tenor sax. A remarkable achievement, it displays Shaw's keen instincts as a jazz innovator.
Of course, woody was great, however, Joe Bonner, the composer of this song, played a fantastic piano solo. he is still one of my most favorite pianists.
But the credit of Ramon’s album ”Lord Sideways" said its composer was Albert Daily for some reason. I believe the composer of the song is definitely Joe Bonner.
+Charles Telerant Out of tune, but not the worst I've heard. It kills me how many jazz albums were recorded without-of-tune pianos. Check out The Jaki Byard Experience.
@bbone610 but there is another tune exactly the same as this but with a completely different title!? I think it is by larry willis on groove merchant, I will have to investigate....
32Jazz put out a double CD called: Last Of The Line. It contains the albums Love Dance and Cassandranite (which also came out under the title: In The Beginning). This guy was a monster talent; it's such a blessing that we have these beautiful pieces to remember him by...

Shaw is so under rated. A fantastic player gone way to soon. Thanks for this.

dig, woody shaw was a master , and a lot of support to younger musicians , he inspired me
This one of my all time favorite funky moments:
this has it all! Joe Bonner is a compositional (and piano) marvel! Woody is....Woody! no explanation needed.
Superb vibes through and through!
Love Dance .... Woody Shaw..

It's actually Billy Harper on tenor, who has a killer solo here.
Gotta say, Billy Harper on this tops anything Henderson could produce
Tragic destiny for one of the greatest
That's got to be Carter Jefferson on saxophone and probably Steve Turre on trombone...
Billy Harper
a TREMENDOUS recording! Classic....
HYPNOTIC BASS LINE...
Excellent! I have two copies of this in Vynil
Of course, woody was great, however, Joe Bonner, the composer of this song, played a fantastic piano solo. he is still one of my most favorite pianists.
Got it! Ramon Morris "Lord Sideways" is the one, check it out on here! That would have bugged the death out of me if I hadn't remembered it!
But the credit of Ramon’s album ”Lord Sideways" said its composer was Albert Daily for some reason. I believe the composer of the song is definitely Joe Bonner.
Of course you can't buy this now. Billy Harper is playing on this as
well, two of my favorite musicians in one package.
Brilliant, as usual.
wow this is nice
Billy Harper on tenor sax!
Wonderful!

👍👌🤗
Lovely playing all around but couldn't they have tuned the piano a little better for a recording session, or is it just me?

Oh yeah!
I've never heard this version of Love Dance before. Do you know where can I buy this album?

Who did the original of this, it's driving me mad!!!
There's a trio version on Joe Bonner's "Angel Eyes," also on Muse, released the same year as "Love Dance."
this is the original, i think.
Nice.
