HutchFan Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, JSngry said: what is this label, is there more on it? where did you find this and is it someplace i too can go to find things? I think I discovered that record a couple years ago when I was working on my 70s jazz blog. IIRC, I read about Mario Bauza and Graciela leaving Machito's band in the 70s -- maybe it was in John Storm Roberts' Latin Tinge? -- and that led me to discogs to explore their work. I think discogs led me to both La Botánica and Afro-Cuban Jazz. Incidentally, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can listen to Afro-Cuban Jazz via that service. The cover is different (and they don't give Graciela leadership credit), as shown below:  Also, here are the Caiman listings on discogs. [EDIT: I just now see that Dub Modal beat me to the punch. ] I've heard that the Caiman LP called Super All Stars is really good. (Again, maybe read that in Latin Tinge?) I haven't heard all of it, but here are a couple cuts:  Here are the personnel credits for the Super All Stars: Alto Saxophone [Saxofones Alto], Flute [Flauta] – Paquito D'Rivera Bass [Bajo] – Andy González Chorus – Adalberto Santiago, Leo González, Felo Barrios Congas – Daniel Ponce Drums [Bateria] – Ignacio Berroa Guiro – Felo Barrios Guitar [Guitarra] – Juan Márquez Piano – Paquito Pastor Tenor Saxophone [Saxofones Tenores], Baritone Saxophone [Saxofones Baritono], Piccolo Flute [Picolo] – Mario Rivera Timbales, Vibraphone [Vibrafono] – Tito Puente Trombone – Claudio Roditi, José Rodrigues, Steve Turre Trumpet [Trompetas] – 'Chocolate' Armenteros, Spanky Davis, Valery Ponomorev LOTS of Latin Jazz heavies!   Edited April 14, 2021 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted April 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Yes, lots of possibilities on that Caiman label...the Discogs listing also has no small number of electro/reggaetron stuff, which to me seems to indicate that it was very much a "community" label with product for all ages (and in between!). The impression I have gotten is that the only time the Cuban/Cuban-American coummunity stops living with their musics is when they did, and even then, conclusive proof has yet to be offered.

Absolutely.  NP: Charles Earland - Front Burner (Milestone, 1988) with Virgil Jones (tr), Bill Easley (ts, ss), Bobby Broom (g), Buddy Williams (d) and Frank Colon (cga) Some good stuff from "The Mighty Burner"!   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Congress-Woman Malinda Jackson Parker - The Liberian Landmark Joy Imagine Wesley Willis meets Nina Simone. An extension of her EP from the early 70s called "Tubman Goodtype Songs Of Liberia." Even some of those tunes were derived from a late 60s record which featured one of her favorite subjects: bloodsucking insects. This album is named after the label that 60s side was on. A "special" tune of hers - part of a series - is called "Cousin Mosquito No. 2" where she begins talking about how great "Radaminov" was - soon playing Rachmaninov's - Prelude in C Sharp Minor while singing about how awful the mosquito is: "Mosquito is no friend to man" ... "Mosquito has the stink of death" ... The album is filled with all kinds of grandmotherly advice for the inhabitants of Liberia. Maybe it's time for us to listen too?
