Jorge López Ruiz – Viejas Raices (EMI, 1975)

 

[Stompin at the Savoy]

I have the Mosaic set with these performances but saw an inexpensive used copy on ebay and snagged it.   Remastered by Malcolm Addey in 2007.  Seems like this has a clearer image than the Mosaic; very lively, warm and clear.

Not contradicting you, but if this has better sound than the Mosaic, it must be something else. I always thought the Birdland tracks on the Mosaic set sounded great.

Today, I've been streaming music by the Brazilian guitarist Sebastião Tapajós:

Violão & Amigos (RCA, Brazil, 1978)

and

Sebastião Tapajós - Pedro Dos Santos (Trova, Argentina, 1972)

So did I and they do.  This may be better.  Here's the booklet: https://musicbrainz.org/release/8c6f08c5-2b1d-4208-aa39-41a2b1bd838a/cover-art

Weird good?  Or just plain ol' garden-variety weird?

Weird good. 
It’s a fusion record but very murky. Bits made me think of Jimmy Giuffre or “Planet Caravan” by Black Sabbath. That kind of weird.

O.K.  Thanks.  That definitely sounds weird good.

I 

love this recording. So much fun. A performance was broadcast on TV in the days before videotape and so far no one has found a Kinescope and put it out–I’d love to see it.

Also Columbia/Sony had a 2 cd reissue planned and even advertised. . . that they ended up never releasing as the producer was let go from Columbia. A huge shame! I’d love to hear the extra material!

Duke Ellington “A Drum is a Woman” Columbia France cd.

European alternate cover.

Interesting.  I had no idea that there was more music from A Drum Is a Woman.   

That's a BIG bummer that Sony hasn't seen fit to release it.  Maybe some day?  Hopefully!?!
