I sampled a few tracks and wasn't too convinced by some of the collaborations Edit to add: decided to listen to it and can see that I fell for the danger of random sampling. Still not sure about the Camille track at all Edited April 15, 2021 by mjazzg Quote

Still not sure about the Camille track at all I ordered the LP from amazon (US). The CD was not in stock when I ordered but does show up as in stock now (though with a suspiciously delayed delivery date). There are 8 tracks. Two are solo kora. Of the collaborations, the ones with Sona Jobarteh and Vincent Segal/Patrick Messina are excellent. I don't know who Camille is, but I liked that track and the one with Salif Keita. The track with Oxmo Puccino I did not care for. The track with Piers Faccini was okay. This opinion is based on listening to the LP twice in a row last night. Edited April 15, 2021 by kh1958 Quote

Salif Keita could sing a shopping list and I'd enjoy it! Quote

HutchFan Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) This again: EDIT: Just finished listening to Tate's version of "Isfahan," the first cut on Side 2. I had to get up and move the tonearm back to the beginning to listen again. Wow. Tate doesn't erase memories of Johnny Hodges' way with this tune -- no one can! -- but Tate can take a proud spot right up there beside Hodges on Olympus when it comes to this song. That is no mean feat. 16 hours ago, Brad said: Edited April 17, 2021 by HutchFan Quote

HutchFan Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 NP: Paquito D'Rivera - Mariel (Columbia, 1982) Strange that this LP has never been reissued on CD. I think BGO should package up Paquito's Columbia records just like they did Arthur Blythe's. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 Horace Silver - Further Explorations of the Horace Silver Quintet (Blue Note/Tone Poet). This may be one of my last Tone Poet buys. Sound is very good but as I've been buying more & more of these, I'm remembering how damn inconvenient LPs are. Even with the purchase of a second turntable for my upstairs listening space, I still have to "make time" to play these damn things. It's so much easier to drop a CD into a tray and hit "Play" and even easier to load up my playlist on my PC and never have to get up again. I guess I'm getting too lazy for vinyl. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 Booker Ervin - The In Between (Blue Note). As much as I like Booker, this doesn't seem to come off the shelf very often. "Typical Booker" might be the best descriptor. I was once told by a musician that Booker only has two solos - a slow one and a fast one. Maybe this is one of those dates where that is more evident? Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 Weird about this Booker Ervin LP... the lead-in groove area seems smaller than usual. I found myself dropping the needle into music on both sides. I had to drop it almost on the edge to get the lead-in. Quote
