NYT Article on Strata-East Records

Just starting to read this now, but anything that draws widespread attention to the label at this late date has to be a good thing.  Now if we could just get CD reissues for the Jazz Contemporaries 'Reasons In Tonality' and the Mtume 'Alkebu-lan, sets, as well as some of the other gems the label released in the 70's!

Alkebu-Lan: As a child, I could recite the "Invocation" from memory.
Have a few well-worn copies. My go-to Strata East.

I've seen a few things about Alkebu-Lan recently and had assumed it was re-released.

Thanks, Rod.  I'm hard paywalled from NYT, can't even view pages in incognito windows. Wouldn't have been able to read it without your post.

I'm tired of having content blocked by people who do not look like me.

NPR’s Jazz Night in Americ did a show about Strata East a couple years back.

I'm tired of media coverage that increases the prices of already expensive items!

You're welcome. Just go to archive.org and put an address in the "Wayback Machine" Mr. Peabody. It works much of the time.

Only relevant to the specific conversation if you add "by people who do not look like me" #insidealkebulanjoke
