Hot Ptah

I remember that Camel sponsored a tour of young Blue Note jazz artists about 10 years ago, with the Camel logo very prominent in the posters. We were bombarded with Camel promotional materials in the club. What I found bizarre is that many Blue Note classic album covers were pictured in the promotional materials with the Camel logo incorporated into the covers, as if the Camel logo had been part of the orginal artwork.

His Beehive LP, "Roots Branches and Dances", is a really good album. I saw him several times with Johnny Griffin--he was always outstanding.

Weren't they on their own (?) label BIZARRE that was distributed through Verve? From what I have read in books about Zappa, the first few Mothers albums were on Verve, but Verve's censorship of the "We're Only In It For The Money" album led Zappa to leave Verve for another label.
