Oh wait. It isn't An Indian's Week! It's a new one. Is it a nice one?

It is.

Pretty typical Texier, those rolling bass themes, some nice added wordless vocals which I'm not sure he's used before.  One vocal standard and a lovely tribute to Carla Bley and Steve Swallow

there's loads of wordless vocals on his very early albums Amir and Varech, maybe others...

 

I know them. This is a female vocalist, sorry wasn't thinking about his solo albums.

Just about to give a first spin to the new Basil Kirchin issue on Trunk Records. Two movie soundtracks.

The second session was apparently John McLaughlin's last as a session musician before he left to join Miles.

Now spinning on my turntable:

Baden Powell Quartet, Vol. 3 (Barclay FR, 1971)

This LP arrived in the mail yesterday, and I just gave it thorough cleaning on my record cleaning machine.  The music, AQ, and record condition are all TOP-SHELF.  Beautiful.  And the LP only cost me $5 on eBay.  Quite a score! 

I think this band -- with Ernesto Ribeiro Gonçalves (b), Helio Schiavo (d), Alfredo Bessa (perc, vo) and Janine de Waleyne contributing occasional vocals -- is one of the finest supporting groups that Powell ever had. 

Now officially on my "to get" radar: Volumes 1 & 2 from the same December 1970 sessions in Paris.  :g

Still hoping for that official reissue. I wonder why both Pure Pleasure and P-Vine have never touched this one?

 

 

Me too. With Mtume's death and some other organizational complications, it seems to have stalled. But I remain hopeful and have the raw materials at the ready.
