I've been meaning to investigate Morales' music.  MG, would you have a recommendation for a good place to begin?

Picked that up myself recently, but haven’t listened to it yet. Your post has inspired me to move it up front in my listening queue.

Enjoy!  :tup

Now, something very different. Getting ready for the next Bootleg Series Volume coming out next week . . . .

Bob Dylan "Empire Burlesque" Sony Blu-Spec CD2.

The material from this album in the upcoming Volume is supposedly somewhat stripped of the production elements that annoy most of us. . . that should be interesting.

I've somehow got a disc's worth of Infidel's outtakes on my computer and it's way better than the original release, so I'm looking forward to this.

From Solovox To Supersonic - my homemade Sun Ra assemblage of the Saturn Catalog in chronological/session order from 1948-1956. It breaks up nicely into two LP-length CDs, with the break coming where the first Transition session is, and then, the two cuts from the second Transition session that didn't make it to Delmark.

Using all the latest mastering, except for the single version of "Saturn", which the Strut Singles album fucked up on and didn't use, and the early cuts from Deep Purple, which to my knowledge aren't available yet(?).

The great thing about the (relatively) cleaner sound is having more detail on exactly what Jim Heardon was up to, which ends up being really interesting. Drums, electric bass, and tympani, all sorts of shiftings of rhythmic gravity going on with that combination, Max playing tympani with Monk...where did he get that idea? Who knows? But this, this is here.

I've got five. I like 'Como esta' a lot.

The others are 

Holiday in Havana - cheapo on Design from 1960, but probably earlier material

 

Holiday In Havana (LP, Album, Stereo) album cover

 

His piano and rhythm - Ansonia 1960 - very nice indeed

 

His Piano And Rhythm album cover

 

Mambo with Noro - Palladium 1952 very nice indeed

Mambo With Noro album cover

 

Mambo with Morales - Harmony (Most is with Humberto Morales)

The cheapos are likeable, but I don't think they're as nice as the proper issues. But I bet they're a cinch to find in cutout bins.

iNo! ¿Que es?

Kanaga de Mopti started off as the Orchestre Regional de Mopti. It was one of the original regional bands subsidised by the Ministry of Information of the post-colonial government of Mali. This is their first recording, from 1970, recorded by the Ministry of Information and released on Barentreiter-Musicaphon. The Mopti Region includes the Bandiagara Escarpment, the central part of the land of Do, home of the Dogon. Very important centre for tourism.

The band's second album was made in 1977 for the Mali Kunkan label, owned by the Ministry of Information (apparently now owned by Syllart). This was recently reissued on CD. It's outstandingly brilliant.

Pawi is one I recently found out about from the guy from whom I've been buying African records on and off for thirty-something years. He doesn't know when it issued.

All three of these albums are very different.
