There we are then. MG

I've forgotten what this thread's about and can't be asked to look at post #1 MG

Oh, so SHE'S the bass player? MG

My guess is that their issues predate Esquire which started IIRC around 1949 Wiki has 1947 as Esquire's start. They issued quite a range of material I've a fair number of their 78s with material from Prestige/New Jazz, Metronome (Sw), King, Barclay (Fr), Dial. Melodisc issues covered HRS, Savoy, Prestige a.o. judging by the handful I have. My guess is that their issues predate Esquire which started IIRC around 1949 Wiki has 1947 as Esquire's start.

I like that Cobblestone one. There's some very nice unaccompanied solo stuff somewhere in there, if I remember it right. MG

Enjoyed Xalam's 'Apartheid' so much, I went on to Goree. the other new Xalam I got in Paris. Wonderful stuff! Some of this would make a splendid item for a BFT. MG

Just looked up 'Sid's bounce' and 'Night on bop mountain' in Ruppli's Prestige discog. No mention of a Melodisc issue for that coupling (NJ809). But there is a Melodisc listing for J J Johnson's 'Afternoon in Paris'/'Teapot' - Melodisc 1122. This Melodisc uses alternative takes of the two sides from those appearing on the NJ original issue NJ820. Those alternative takes were unissued anywhere else until they were included in PRLP7839 in about 1971. Makes me wonder whether the 78 you referred to had alternative takes, too. For 'Sid's bounce' (matrix JRC34) there are no alternative takes listed. There are two takes of 'Night on bop mountain' listed, however. The one with the matrix number of JRC37B is the one that came out on NJ809 & PR809, but no further issues until the early 70s, when it appeared on '25 years of Prestige' PR24046. JRC37A may have been longer, as it appeared on PREP1331 and subsequent LP issues (with all the other 3 cuts done at that session). So, what do you have here? MG

My guess is that their issues predate Esquire which started IIRC around 1949 That's when Prestige started. Esquire must have come in as a distributor a bit later than '49. MG

Got a good few this week MG

Well, I'm not a noted audiophile I just do a google search, y'know. MG

Looks interesting; thanks Mike. Will get to these sometime. MG

I was thinking of these There's one of those Chicago avant players who did an album called something like 'Rabbity-goo'. MG

Prety nice article that one. Liked this quote “Whatever moments you get of happiness, use it up, you know, if you can, because it don’t come that often.” MG

Coo, I never knew Melodisc issued Prestige material over here. MG

The only 2 Mali Kunkan albums I've never heard L'Ensemble Instrumental National du Mali. "Soundiata ou l'épopée Mandingue" L'Orchestre Sidi Yassa de Kayes MG

I'd like a DL please. Also, double the regular number of days in July to listen to everything MG

Damn! Dieuf Dieul is a brilliant band! Must get this, but MG

Abdoulaye Diabate - Samory - Samassa (CK7) this is the CD pic, which I didn't know about Sekouba Bambino - Warasso - Super Selection (CK7) - Most of this K7 is included in the CD 'Ambiance ballon', but not all. One for fans. I love his football records! Mamadou Doumbia alias Percey - An 2000 - Mali K7 (CK7) (This is the Mamadou Doumbia who used to sing with Super Biton.) No image on web. Taye Sacko - Malisadio - CK7 Kasse Mady Diabate & Layede Bagaga - Samassa (CK7) - no image on web Then a few CDs Sali Sidibe - Union Africaine - CK7 Ganda Fadiga vols 1 & 2 - CK7. Replacements for two very well played K7s. All this shopping is exhausting! Called it quits for the day and returned the following day to Kalitex, another Malian specialist, for a couple more CDs Maniam Damba - Maramba - BKS Kande Sy - Foule - CK7 Phew! Now, when am I going to find time to listen to all these? MG

Next shop, a few doors down the road, ATA Audio Visual specialising in Guinean material First, a few CDs Alphadio Dara - Nouvel album - Tandjigoura Alphadio Dara - Bankitou minata - Gris Gris - no image on web Amadou Sodia - Touma sera - Syllart Amadou Sodia - Ca va se savoir - Syllart Wonderful contrast in that photo! Amadou Sodia is a singer and bolon player I've gone to sleep on. Glad I've caught up at last. I'll get some more next year, or maybe sooner...
