mjazzg Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm a big fan of Kenyatta's 'Girl from Martinique' and 'Freedom State Band' Any views on how Beggars & Stealers stacks up against them much appreciated. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 It's good. Kenyatta is on tenor for the most part; the 1969 concert recordings (w/ Mouzon, Willis and Booker) are a little lo-fi but it's interesting to hear him on the instrument. He sounds quite different phrase-wise/tonally, somewhat Shepp-like at times. The duo w/ Muhal is short (at like 5') but gorgeous. If you see it for $10 or so (maybe less), grab it. It's rarely an item priced much more than that, truthfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it priced reasonably so may bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah, I threw it on as a result of this thread and it still holds up - good record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've never seen this record before. With a cover like this, I'd remember if I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Was listening to one of Kenyatta’s Atlantics the other night - not so great. Betty Davis appears on one of the tracks, which was a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
