Glad you enjoyed! And bingo on Booker T. with Cyrille.

So it is a Silkheart? I have one of his on the label

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, Booker T. on Silkheart. He only has one album as a leader for the label.

Thom ID’ed the artist & track/disc correctly so only 12 more remain!

I had many left over from last year so I could put together one in very short order. But that should be a last resort.  

Update:  I have a new presenter, but we're working on getting his account activated.

At least I got the label right.

What's the story with Booker T? I have the leader date but don't know much else about him

The Booker T I know:

Booker T. actually has a new recording out. I've given it a couple listens and enjoy it.

Likewise, I've been listening to this BFT on & off all month and really enjoying it, and should really try to work up some ramblings for the thread before it's too late.

Thanks, I had no idea

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, the new one is nice indeed.

He's from Seattle and relocated to NYC in 1974, seems like he was an East Coast working player until around 25 years ago (maybe less), when he returned to the Seattle area. Not a lot of sessions, but he's strong on everything I've heard.

If you can snag the video of Henry Threadgill's Society Situation Dance band, he's on that (along with John Stubblefield).
