Horace Tapscott & Michael Session - Live in Avignon, France, 1989

[jcam_44]

I love Tapscott but Michael Session is the reason I sprung for this. His Session N Session album is desert island for me and I have 3 copies. If I see it in the wild I always feel compelled to buy it. Saw this release on Bandcamp. Looks like vinyl and digital only. I sprung for the “bootleg” copy.

I'm holding out for European distribution

So the vinyl only has 3 of the 6 tracks?

And I'm holding out for CD release.

That’s the way I understand it. This is on a label Michael Session son is a part of. Sounds like there may be multiple live tapes out there so I’m excited for what may come.

I met them in Göttingen ...

Very cool, never seen the original tape issue before.

[jcam_44]

Super cool. Crazy how that album still sounds fresh 30 years later

Me too - but don't hold your breath.

I wonder if the cd version is the same as your tape. The cd shows a 1990 recorded date In Hollywood at Stage and Sound, but the dark tree book says it was recorded in 87 which coincides with your 89 tape date.

Looks very tempting due to both artists involved ....

So I was on Apple Music and it looks like the digital run time of this album is 1 hr 22 mins. Looks like they constrained the vinyl to 3 songs due to time. Makes since, otherwise it would be an 3-LP set. I can see a new label being hesitant on jumping out the gate with that.
