YANA——Baby/People——(two rivers) UK

 

Corey Mwamba , Dave Kane and Joshua Blackmore. Exact instrumentation isn’t documented but it basically vibes/percussion/bass trio. Very spontaneous sounding music which is beautifully recorded. Mwamba’s vibes sound warm and rounded so it might be marimba he’s playing, I’m not sure. Sounds great , I’d love to see these guys live . Think they’re active in Leeds 

 

thanks for posting that as a reminder. I saw that it was coming up a few months ago. I have another CD by this trio, directly from Mwamba (he has lots of music, some free, on his website. He's based in Derby, I think the others may be Leeds based. there's a very good Dave Kane leader date on Editions from years ago.

Mwamba makes occasional forays to London and plays with some interesting people - Alex Hawkins and Evan Parker amongst others. I must get to a gig one day

Did I mention Harold Ousley (!!) ....

Indeed, but the big "eye-opener" for me on Grass Roots was Bobby Hutcherson's comping, which was rhythmically normal enough, but his voicings were very distinct, at times Monk-like, and hardly ever just straight piano-like. It's what had me waiting at any time to hear Jackie McLean and/or Grachan Moncur pop in.
