Onxidlib Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Yesterday I got an email notification by Soundohm about a reissue of this obscure but great LP. It is a bootleg! Unfortunately! Quote
mjazzg Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Soundohm seem to thrive on bootleg stock Edited March 14, 2020 by mjazzg Quote
sidewinder Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Another one that will probably get thrown out by the HJ/PayPall firewall ! Quote
corto maltese Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 "In our excitement about this reissue, we leapt at getting copies from the distributor, but realized after the fact that we are not 100% certain of how authorized it is, and are unable to gain conformation. In this light, we offer it to our costumers with a light disclaimer to this end." (Soundohm) On Discogs, this release has been blocked from sale. Quote
Pim Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Yeah and an official release is also announced in the comments.... so I would wait for that one. Quote
Onxidlib Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Posted March 15, 2020 Meanwhile pre-order or update subscription is possible at http://blackunitytrio.com/ Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 yeah, waiting on the official reissue. Have had a couple chances to grab the original but never in ideal condition. Quote

Pim Posted March 19, 2020 Report Posted March 19, 2020 Anyone who could tell some more about this recording? I don’t know it and don’t know the artists as well. It does sound interesting listening on YouTube. Quote
Niko Posted March 19, 2020 Report Posted March 19, 2020 The boys in the band introduce themselves in this edition of cricket http://www.ayler.co.uk/html/cricket.html it's the seventh page from the end under the headline "Gossip". "We, the Black Unity Trio welcome a free exchange of ideas and will assist you in any way possible." Otherwise, Cellist Abdul Wadud is by far the best known member of the band with an extensive discography... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 19, 2020 Report Posted March 19, 2020 Saxophonist Joe Phillips a/k/a Yusef Mumin was also in trumpeter Norman Howard's group, which cut a proposed LP for ESP that was later issued on cassette by Homeboy Music and then some of that came out on an ESP CD several years ago. Drummer Haasan Al-Hut has, to my knowledge, not appeared on anything else. It's a great, great record -- have had a CD-R of it for many years. A second Black Unity Trio LP was recorded but remains unreleased. Not sure if the masters survived. Quote
Pim Posted March 19, 2020 Report Posted March 19, 2020 Thanks for the info guys! I Do know Abdul Wadud but did not know his birthname as mentioned on Discogs. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 Just got an email saying that the official reissue date is going to be 27 November 2020. Apparently there's going to be a livestream over the Instagram tomorrow at 1pm Eastern, for anyone who's interested. Quote
mjazzg Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 Well that's my birthday present to self sorted nicely. I thought I had signed up to the updates but obviously not, thanks for posting Quote
Pim Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) An update anyone? Don’t see it yet in the pre-orders and November is near by Edited September 28, 2020 by Pim Quote
Rabshakeh Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Funny - I was going to ask the same this morning. I've heard nothing further from them, myself. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 same. I definitely want a copy when it comes out. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 The livestream thing was delayed due to an issue with the tapes. Hopefully not something serious. Quote
mjazzg Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 ...they couldn't find them, perhaps whatever the reason it doesn't augur well Quote
