Just became aware of this. I'll probably try to snag it one way or another soon. Cheaper for me to import it from the UK than apparently any other option. :unsure:

There was a time when CDs in Canada were much cheaper than the UK and pretty well anywhere else but the US. What happened over there? :wacko:

Christ Potter The Sirens

I know some people think he's heaven sent as a saxophonist but that's going a bit far :unsure:

unconvincing album for me, sounds better in the passages when the leader's not playing by and large - but I nearly always have a "technique over content" reaction to Potter (exceptions seem to be with Motian)

I found the album dissapointing also. I never really got into Potter, but since I loved his contribution to the "Lost in a Dream" album and Eric Harland is playing on this one, I had quitte high hopes. For the most time the only thing i was thinking though while listening to this albums was "now shup up Potter, so I can hear the rest of the band! :lol:

For some reason his tone just doesn't grab me at all, and on this album I found the sound of his sax mixed/mastered? way to loud in comparrison with the rest of the group.

As for what I bought; two very nice "Blue Note in a box" Liberty vinyl pressings of two of my alltime favorite albums:

Mory Djeli Dienne Kouyate - La flamme de la verite - TWS - MDDK has a fabulous voice! I've got 5 of his now. Pity there's no info with Amazon's downloads; don't know how old this is, but probably less than ten years.

Fats Domino - The Imperial singles 1962-64 - Imperial (Ace UK)

My goodness, this is good stuff. Got a fair bit of the first set and used to have some of vol 5 back in the day, but the stuff I didn't hear before is as great as the classics!

In the wake of his passing, I noticed I didn't have much Dave Brubeck so I picked up Jazz Impressions Of New York, Jazz Impressions Of Japan, and Time Further Out.

Aminata Kamissoko - Malamine - Djenne Music (Sterns)

This is not THE Aminata Kamissoko, who has made several great albums in Guinea, but AN Aminata Kamissoko, from Mali. I got this cheap (less than 4 quid inc post) from an Amazon seller, thinking it was THE Aminata Kamissoko. But I'm not disappointed. This one is very good and turns out to be Ami Koita's auntie.
