The story of The Stark Reality\u2019s Discovers The Hoagy Carmichael\u2019s Music Shop begins in Boston the late 1960s, with a wild jazz \u2013 as psychedelic as they were modal, as funky as they were swinging – band based in Boston landing a deal with Ahmad Jamal\u2019s nascent AJP imprint after the legendary jazz pianist heard their demo recordings. They had been tasked by the great American songsmith Hoagy Carmichael\u2019s son, Hoagy Bix Carmichael, to create interpretations of the elder Carmichael\u2019s children songs for a Mr. Rogers-themed show that the younger Carmichael was producing for local PBS affiliate WGBH. The quartet – Monty Stark on vibes, Phil Morrison on bass, Vinnie Johnson on drums and a very young John Abercrombie on fuzz guitar \u2013 recorded an album that flopped upon its initial release and went on to become one of \u2013 as Mojo Magazine noted – \u201cthe most prized ‘funk\u2019 artifacts of all time… a project that allies Hendrix-stoned guitars, heavily-fuzzed vibraphone and Bitches Brew rhythms…\u201d Now-Again Records, who has kept the Stark Reality\u2019s music in print since 2002, presents the definitive reissue of The Stark Reality\u2019s Discovers The Hoagy Carmichael\u2019s Music Shop.
