About this album

Times Out Of Mind is a distinctive late-1970s Dave Pike album that finds the vibraphonist moving comfortably between jazz-funk and Latin jazz. Recorded in 1976, it shows Pike shaping supple, rhythm-led pieces around clean melodic ideas rather than flashy display, with the title track and pieces such as Dance Of The Grebes and Djalma pointing to its easy cross-current of groove and improvisation. The album reflects a period when jazz was increasingly open to electric textures and broader dance-floor appeal, and Pike's voice fits that world with a light, nimble touch. It stands as one of his more appealing and accessible recordings.
