kh1958 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not jazz, but Strut has also released Next Stop Soweto 4, which is also quite worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems not to be the next volume really - or maybe it is, not sure ... but good, it is! http://www.strut-records.com/spiritofmalombo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Spirit of Malombo could be in the Next Stop Soweto series. There's actually another (more rock/funk oriented) in that series that just came out. http://www.strut-records.com/nextstopsoweto4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mori Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Here's an interesting obscurity. In 1968 French jazzman Jef Gilson flies to Madagascar, meets local musicians, plays and records, mostly Gilson's numbers, also a great version of the The Creator Has a Master Plan, no vocals to worry about. A few years later political trouble brings many of said musicians to exile in Paris. Gilson records several albums with them, live and in his own studio, in various formats. A few years on all musicians, save Gilson himself, decamp to funk, disco, etc. But while it lasted it was excellent, rawish jazz with a stew of percussion and some long work-outs on the traditional "valiha" (bamboo zither). A 4 disc package has been put together by the UK's Jazzman Records, who are experts at reviving the lost and forgotten and never-was-but-should-have-beens. There are some sound samples on their site. http://www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk/jef-gilson-et-malagasy-jef-gilson-et-malagasy-cd Edited April 17, 2015 by Mori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
