I have the Smith but not the Mitchell which every time I remember that seems pretty silly of me, I really should complete the pair.
Playing this now
Asher Gamedze - Turbulence And Pulse [International Anthem, 2022]
I think that's a fabulous release, admittedly after only one listen. The drumming on 'Africa' is almost worth the entry cost alone
Rough Trade and Dixieland, not a pairing I'd ever imagined. Good use of fire drill time though, well done!
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
