LF: Hannibal Marvin Peterson CD's

[felser]

Have always loved his 70's/early 80's recordings.  I have "Children of the Fire", "Antibes","Angels of Atlanta","Lausanne" and "The Light", and am ordering "The Tribe".  Looking for "Hannibal" (the one on MPS),"Naima","Berlin","Tribute" if anyone has any leads on those.  The least expensive "Tribute" I see is $40, and the others are either $100+ or not available on CD.  Any leads or suggestions appreciated, as are any suggestions on latter recordings of his that are worthy of his earlier recordings (I have the one on Muse - it's good but just not the same rush).  Thanks.

Felser,

These aren't CD, but the following downloads are available from Amazon. Very inexpensive too.

Thank you!  Looks like I can have some fun on Friday!

Good luck on Naima. Best as I can tell it was only released as a Japan-Only Direct-To-Disc 12" 45.

And if you're curious about the Soulmasters record, good, you should be. But don't pay big for it, becuase appearances are not deceiving, it really is a locally recorded recording of a local R&B band, albeit a very good one.

Something else to be on the lookout for at not too much price is Introducing Pat Peterson on Enja. Pat is Hannibal's sister, an incredibly gifted vocalist who's spent the last few decades singing backgrounds for John Cougar, but before deciding to have that career had eyes to do what is now called "spiritual jazz" - and was damn good at it. Hannibal produced the record, and Pat freely admitted that it was a rush kind of thing and she wasn't fully comfortable, but...I like it anyway, it feels good to me. The band is Hannibal, Fathead, Scofield, T.M. Stevens, & Billy Hart, and the material is all Pat's.

Thanks Jim, great to know all around.  I haven't sought out the Soulmasters CD due to the appearances you mention and the price tag.  Not at all familiar with the Pat Peterson CD.  Too pricey at the moment, but I look forward to running into it some day.  I have heard her on 'The Light' and like her singing quite a bit.  I'll give up all hopes of Naima.

No, do not give up all hopes, just look for records in your spare time. Shit turns up in some unlikely places sometimes, I swear it does. I mean, if it's not fun, don't do it, but if you can have fun looking for unlikely stuff in all kinds of places, be ready to carpe diem and have a coke and a smile, all that. And when it doesn't, have some ice cream, no need to have a bad day, ya' know?

A few very reasonable LP prices on Pat's thing there: http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=759431&ev=mb

Searching for this artist's recordings can be somewhat perplexing due to the fact that he is listed by several different names. There’s Hannibal, Hannibal Peterson and Marvin Peterson. There’s also Hannibal Marvin Peterson and Marvin Hannibal Peterson. Finally, there’s Hannibal Lokumbe, which I believe is the latest version.

@Jim, thanks, ice cream makes every day better !  Spent much of the 1965-2000 era joyfully going through cutout bins (I miss those!) looking for treasures.  I don't buy or really play vinyl at this point, but may need to rethink that at times, now that the CD golden era is clearly over.  Not ready to put down that kind of money for the Pat Peterson yet (I actually tend to really dislike Scofield on recordings, don't like his guitar tone - just me), but it will likely come around to me at some point.

@Sonnymax, I hear ya, believe me.

It's odd to me that though he lives in Bastrop, Austin jazz players haven't sought him out too much. Maybe he prefers being off the scene? I know he could probably show people a few things, and tell them a few more.

Jazzman CD issue of the Soulmasters album is cheap:
