Just ordered this Abdullah Ibrahim CD:

Voice of Africa (BMG UK)
This CD is the first volume in a series that compiles Ibrahim's recordings made in South Africa.  I bought this particular CD because it includes the two long tracks that make up the LP Mannenberg - 'Is Where It's Happening'  -- aka Capetown Fringe (as released in the U.S. on the Chiaroscuro label). 

 

Excellent choice. I’ve got the whole series on Kaz. A good way to collect most of the fantastic ‘African recordings’ with Kippie, Robbie and other African talents.

Yeah, I have a feeling that I may be tracking down more in this series. ;)  How many are there in total?  Five?

BTW: That Billy Harper / Carter Jefferson haul looks fantastic! :tup

Yes there is:

Voice of Africa

Blues for a Hip King

African Sun

Tintinyana

The Mountain

All music taken from these LP’s:

Mannenberg is Where It’s Happening

Abdullah Ibrahim & Ekaya

Black Lightning

Natural Rythm

African Herbs

Bra From Kilimanjaro

Peace

Underground In Africa

Blues for a Hip King

Dollar Brand Plays Sphere Jazz

Dollar Brand + 3

 

This is highly recommended music from one of his best era’s. A great look into the South African jazz scene of those days. Quite a lot of it is OOP and sometimes quite rare.

I stopped by a used store and found some bargains:

Wayne Shorter - EtceteraPhantom Navigator and Joy Ryder.

Bennie Wallace - Bordertown

Bill Charlap - Somewhere: The Music of Leonard Bernstein

Joe Pass/NHØP - Chops

I also bought a Louis Jordan CD that I promptly damaged beyond repair by knocking over my CD drive while I was ripping the disc.  All told, with a birthday discount, I paid about $13.

Recent vinyl purchases:

R-2508231-1287851231.jpeg.jpg

Terumasa Hino Sextet - Fuji (Catalyst, licensed from Victor Japan, 1972)
Hoping this is as good as Taro's Mood (Enja, 1973). Both LPs feature the same excellent rhythm section: Mikio Masuda, Yoshio Ikeda, & Motohiko Hino.

 

R-1045460-1290172220.jpeg.jpg

Rusty Bryant - For the Good Times (Prestige, 1973)
Funny that we were discussing Bryant elsewhere on the forum earlier this week, and then I stumbled across this LP today in Wax & Facts. ... I have the four records that preceded this one; they're compiled on Bryant's two Legends of Acid Jazz CDs. But I've not heard For the Good Times. I'm guessing it's as much funk as jazz.

Irakere - 2 (Columbia)
Irakere's final record for Columbia before changing political tides put an end to that relationship.
