Me too, I found the Trios a bit underwhelming and the other BNs have been listenable but this definitely has an edge to it
This band really seems to have something, Blade sounds good with Lloyd
Yes, I have the latter and really enjoy it. Not too sure why I missed the 'African Suite' album before now, although it's quite easy to get lost in Mann's discography I find.
Whilst over at the Dusty Groove site I bought three of the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra sets on Nimbus.
I haven't been following these releases closely after the first one but decided it was time to carpe diem on what was available now.
This has piqued my interest, off to find a stream.
I can see what TTK mean about the alternative covers, although the Argentine pressing has a good one
Weird indeed, I'll make a note of Wax Factor
15-20 years ago there must have been getting on for 10 decent shops in Brighton, the majority in North Laines where most of the 2nd hand could be found. Did you see many others?
Charles Lloyd - The Sky Will Still Be There tomorrow [Blue Note, 2024]
Lovely. It's not going to convert any non-believers but if you like Charles this is a strong one, more so than the Trio albums I think
