Very disapointed that Give The Vibes Some won't be released on cd.Glad the family of Khan Jamal will see some bucks from the vinyl reissue..I still hope this will se the light of day on a cd sometime soon.
In response to an inquiry i made,honchos from Souffle Continue advised me they are currently working on re-issues of Khan Jamal-Give The Vibes Some,Bakaida Carroll-Orange Fish Tears and Byard Lancaster-Us,with others to follow.No estimate of when they will be released and on what formats but this is good news for all who have longed to see/hear these mid-70's titles again.
Can't wait!!!!
Sure would be nice if Byard's album "Us" with Steve McCall -drums and Sylvain Marc-electric bass was reissued.Originally released in the mid 70s on the French Palm label.Who knows where (if?) the original tapes are.
After one complete listen...WOW.Outstanding music.Paul Bley is crazy, magically brilliant here.Steve Swallow is recorded very well on this session,you hear him under every minute of the music.A couple of tracks, the shortcomings of the tape come through but generally, the sound is acceptable.
