OK. One more. That's it.

Trio Viriditas -- "Live at Vision Festival VI"

Alfred Harth-reeds, pocket trumpet, voice

Wilber Morris-bass

Kevin Norton-drums, vibraphone

This review got me interested (and the sound samples).

The Clean Feed label has really put out alot of interesting looking stuff in the last several month. I also enjoy the Freejazz site but I have to stop going there. My budget is limited I can't afford the temptations.

Well, what a surprise!

Two CDs arrived today by Les Espoirs de Coronthie, a Guinean band. I saw them in Paris in May 2007 and thought they were very good indeed. So I asked their tour manager if they had made any records. He said they had, but not released on CD; but that it was planned to release one soon. so I asked if I could pay for it then and get the CD by post.

Well, I gave up and wrote off the 20 Euros to experience.

And, out of the blue, two turn up!!!!!!

"Dunuya iguiri" is the earliest. It was recorded in Conakry in May & June 2003 and, since it's 78 mins long, must have originally been issued as two cassettes.

The latest, "Tinkhinyi" was recorded in Bamako & Paris in Sep & Dec 2007.

More info on the "African music" thread.

These are a reward for surviving the test your computer put you through recently. ... Karma, it can be a good thing.
