From that linked Discogs entry " The number 1213 is not a sequential number in the Kudu catalog. It is a combination of the catalog numbers assigned to the two albums that also were released separately: Soul Box Vol. 1 (KU 12) and Soul Box Vol. 2 (KU 13). "
'Trouble Man' is worth the entry price alone. I tend not to mind sprawling as there's always the potential for more delights to reveal themselves. Not on Yes 3LP sets, obviously
I have the others too and agree about the Laswell/Graves set although the solo set is special too. I haven't gone for the drummers duets as I have a number of earlier releases with that format. I thought the String Qts would be something different, that was my self-justification anyway
My SW facing kitchen hit 30C yesterday evening, no cooking, door open all day. A short trip to the shops yesterday reminded me of heat I'd felt in Aswan! No breeze at all, a slight one this morning for my 6.45 pre-work walk.
I wasn't overly impressed by the description of PB as a "sax scrawler" and FvH as a "piano pumeler", pretty reductive and not very respectful.
That aside, a decent enough read
But if you have the first UK LP you can enjoy it just as it should be. Lovely listen, may just indulge myself post dinner.
Music to cool a sweltering summer day in the city.
It is, isn't it? So many great players on it. Nick Evans is really standing out on this listen. The notes say that the selections are taken from 2.5 hours of playing, that would've been some gig
Or Larry Young's 'Into Somethin''
hey, a whole new thread "Trying to help out Uniqlo by suggesting designs"...
In fact, thinking about a couple of them I've had for some years they do exactly as you suggest. My favourite is Anthony Willams' 'Spring' which simply has a horizontal thick orange stripe across the chest with the text across the top of that and the 'Let freedom Ring' design has no borders, just the text/design over a white tee.
I hate trying to describe music - Ethio Jazz keyboards with horn choruses, some solos. Has a laidback funkiness to it with some almost Middle-eastern touches. Sits somewhere between Atstatke, something on Brownswood Records and bizarrely Khruangbin. It really grew on my through the album. Ideal summer music, I'd say
Better than taking my words for it
