Good catch. It was here: Horace Tapscott & Pan Afrikan People Arkestra - Live at IUCC 11/2678 2CD - Page 15 - New Releases - organissimo forums ,where it was noted that PAPA has started their own bandcamp releasaes.

I believe there already was a thread in this or maybe it was mentioned in a Tapscott thread. I’ve listened to the samples but can’t say I really enjoy the playing by most of the band members. I already have a whole lot of PAPA records with his excellent regular band members so this is a pass for me

The Dodger starters so far have been incredible. Reminds me of the days of Koufax/Drysdale.

👍 my CD from 1998 ...

More Al Di Meola:

As fine as kidney stew

It's too bad that the LA Jazz Institute doesn't use these ultra-rare CDs to raise money for their organization instead of just using them as a perk for members. I'd especially be interested in that 7 CD box set they put out 2 years ago. If anyone knows where there's one for sale, let me know.

Those two later albums with Clean head are totally fine.

Yeah, this is a burner. She gets hyped for At Last but she's way way more than that tune.

Quite! This one left me shook:

On to the clues. For 3 and 4, Thom's phrase "familiar adjacent" is definitely in play. Horns from 3 and 4 have appeared on BFTs in this decade. A participant in this BFT has praised the album containing 3 on this forum. A horn from 4 has been described as a favorite by one of the participants in this BFT, but on a different horn. And a participant in this BFT included a track from the same album as 4 in a BFT from an earlier decade. 6 is more of a challenge. Recorded in 2007. The sax has recorded several albums as leader, but a different member of the band may be more familiar to the participants.

I had no idea about this Etta James album on Chess. It's excellent.

Sold

One of the finest Ellington tributes/programs that I've heard.

Jupiter & Okwes, Ekoya
