    Martial Solal

    Seeing this thread made me pull out this one again what a great recording Solal's sui generis angularity and unique harmonic conception are in full "swing" with stellar support from Johnson & Motian a classic
  3. Boy, not me. There's no way I'd be waiting for the #38 at 9:30PM. You are braver than I am. The SF club is supposed to open in September or October. If they have a 2PM set on Sunday, I might make the trip. The location of the SF club is no where near regional transit and parking will be expensive and awful. The Oakand club is so much more accessible. This was my thoughts, although its been awhile since i have been to the city.
  4. Looks interesting Goldberg click on the link below the cover image when new window opens click on the cover image for track listing
  5. It sounds good, In Blackburns own words, "Many people ask us" he say's "how one describes our type of music. to this I can olny answer that I leave it to the audience because I don't want to give it a label, for me it is simply ours Mombasa's Music. Some might call it world music theres a label for you I say a synthesis of styles
  6. From Dusty Groove A sublime blend of spiritual jazz and African rhythms -- and one of the few 70s recordings made by Mombasa, a European group put together by LA trombonist Lou Blackburn! The record's got a much more righteous sound than any of Blackburn's work of the 60s -- a boldness and sense of pride that comes from its blending of percussion, acoustic bass, and soaring horn lines on trombone, trumpet, and bamboo flute! Other African elements slide into the music too -- like bits of kalimba -- and the lack of piano or keyboards on the record makes for an especially earthy sound, one that trades rhythm from the percussion with melodies from the horns in a really magical way. Tracks are long, and the set was recorded with the same post-colonial energy as similar work from Paris or London at the time -- a really righteous groove that longs to be rediscovered! Titles include "Nairobi", "Massai", "Holz", "Kenia", "Makishi", and "Shango". They have the CD Dusty Groove
