Will be spinning once the working day is over. I'd recommend finding a reason to knock off early The brass arrangements of the Henderson "hits" are gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First impressions of the Henderson are very positive. Very nice pressings and cover quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aparxa Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Lovely Cape Jazz session with the unmistakable sound of Kippie, a nice companion to Tshona!. I am so glad Matsuli, We are Busy Bodies, Jazzman, Mad About Records, Soultown and Co. are reissuing those South African platters in the past decade. I just hope they will reissue the records of Allen Kwela at some stage.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) How strange. Someone posted the record on instagram yesterday and I was also trying to figure out who it was. I also assumed Lester Young. I mean… it is a picture of Lester Young. Edited August 12, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Picked up today in order to try out the ‘Classic’ series. Wow - can’t recall ever having heard a better version. Will be buying some more of these. Leaves my Liberty cassette copy for dust. Edited August 13, 2022 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one created a buzz when it was new, even though the label was smallish and the artist not yet an established name. Talent doesn't always win out, but greatness will not be denied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Tone Poet version. Trounces the old French DMM copy and also the (better) Toshiba CD by some distance. Lovely issue. Fine as the ‘Classic’ series is, the Tone Poets are worth the extra. One can also hear the fine arranging hand of Cal Massey in both sessions.
