Doesn't detract too much from the impact of the music though. Signed by Favre and Schweizer too, although I've no proof they're legit. Quote

I am a big fan of Schweizer + Favre (their intakt duo is great) so this looks pretty enticing. I see it is available to buy digitally, so I may give that go. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 yeah this is a super gnarly album, not for the faint of heart! I believe they signed a bunch of copies back in the day -- perhaps for reviewers or something. Quote

corto maltese Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 The "looks" and "feel" of those Sahara records were often promising, but they always failed to live up to (my) expectations. Except for the Dane Belany album which, like Clifford, I do like a lot. (I must confess I never heard the Monk tribute album.) Quote

But it's nice to have an original with its gorgeous silk screened sleeve. And honestly, I wouldn't worry about the legitimacy of the signatures. Why would anyone forge Favre's and Schweizer's signatures on the cover?. Those two are not exactly hot among autograph hunters. Quote

I would recommend you hear it if you can (and I appreciate you don't 'do' vinyl anymore) The Graham Collier Septet - Deep Dark Blue Centre [Deram, mono] This lights up the room every time I play it, revealing new delights. Possibly the best British Jazz album for me. This listening prompted by starting the Harry B biography. Edited November 20, 2020 by mjazzg Quote
porcy62 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Long time since I played this set. Quote

That CD was the first issue of the stereo version - taken from LP. I guess the tapes must be lost. The biography on Northway is highly recommended. A complex character - who indeed is missed !

Dmitry Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 Joe Albany - Proto-Bopper, on Revelation, 1972. A decent quality recording, I especially enjoyed the solo part of the program. Interestingly, some of the tunes credited as 'standard', even though the composers are well-known. Quote

Just listened to the entire album on youtube, and wouldn't mind buying a cd, if one becomes available. The original Deram LPs go for $300 or thereabout. I enjoy good modal jazz, and this is a good one. Quote
