Guest ariceffron Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 easly most esoteric lee morgan date ever. what in the hell. i just got this lp for 4 bucks. it is way out of control. johnny griff monkey and benny golson are on it too Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 it really sure inspired his own later stuff. like the rajah!!! Quote
brownie Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 Guess you're talking about the Ahmed Abdul Malik 'East Meets West' album? A very interesting date. If you paid 4 bucks for the original RCA LP, you made a great bargain! If you got the reissue LP that came out a couple of years ago, that's money wisely spent Since you're enjoying that one, you should also try Ahmed Abdul Malik 'Jazz Sahara'. Recorded before the RCA date. It was on Riverside and there's an OJC reissue of it. No Morgan but Griffin is outstanding on that one too! Quote

I'm About Shorty Rogers, all his RCA LPs have been reissued on Fresh Sounds CDs. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 Yep, it was a German reissue of BMG in their Living Stereo reissue series, # 72431 25723 2: It is OOP. Quote
ejp626 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) Bumping this up. I just purchased the LP re-issue of East Meets West (not as good a deal as our friend ericaffron unfortunately). Anyway, I am enjoying this. It's quite short, and I paired it with Cannonball's Accent on Africa (another really unusual set) on a CDR. I think I'll have another spin to focus on the "Western" musicians, Golson, Griffin and Morgan, and to see what they are doing. Edit: Dusty Groove had at least one more copy of East Meets West for under $10 (can't recall which pressing) if anyone is interested. I didn't care as much for Jazz Sahara, though I'll listen to it again soon. I thought Griffin kind of disappeared on most of the music. I do like the Prestige Two-fer Jazz Sounds of Africa which collects The Music of Ahmed Abdul-Malik and Sounds of Africa. I think I was probably turned onto this in the first place by an earlier thread. Edited January 1, 2005 by ejp626 Quote
