kh1958

Nope. After waiting 49 years, I can wait until year 50. JazzTimes will have to re-print all its issues, I guess. Live at Chateauvallon has a quartet version of this group (McPherson/Foster/Brooks) and it is quite excellent. Adding Bobby Jones is a plus for me.

According to an ad in JazzTimes, on December 3 Resonance is releasing Charles Mingus, Noddin' Ya Head: The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott's, a 3CD set. The band is Bobby Jones, Charles McPherson, John Foster, Roy Brooks, and Jon Faddis.

Good in every way. Dave Brubeck, Two Knights at the Blackhawk (Fantasy) Count Basie, Basie's Best (Olympic). A budget looking LP seemed unlikely to be Basie's best, but it is live in 1937 with Lester Young and Herschel Evans, and pretty well recorded.

Erroll Garner, Symphony Hall Concert (Mack Avenue)

Keith Jarrett, Köln Concert (ECM) Lee Konitz Plays with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet (Tone Poet)

I've never found anything in his music that appeals to me. I don't like his songs, his voice, his guitar playing (even though I've heard over and over again that Prince is a great guitar player, I've never heard a solo I liked). I pretty much detached from American popular music in the early 1970s. Basically nothing that comes after that appeals to me, and that includes Prince.

Love Miles and hate Prince.

I really like the Moran/Shepp duets--the CD was recently available from dustygoove. I think they still have it on LP.

Diablos Del Ritmo, The Columbia Melting Pot, 1960-1985 (Analog Africa)

I can answer those questions. Kanaga System Krush was a U.S. based West Coast label which formerly issued CDs and LPs. It seems to have failed as a business in that regard, and the several Bandcamp downloads are the only partial remnant of the label. It is not a "produced" label. They traveled to Mali and recorded the musicians in their home environment. Most of the CDs I have on this label are quite good, with my favorite releases being by Lobi Traore, Zani Diabate and Madou Diabate (kora). The Zani Diabate is an acoustic guitar duo recording with Moudy Sissoko, and vocals from Oumou Diabate. It was recorded in February of 2005, in Abdoul Doumbia's family compound in Bamako. (Not his last recording, I was mistaken on that point.) Very good one. Moving on to Lobi Traore, Bwati Kono (Raw Electic Blues from Bamako) is a live recording recorded in 2007 and 2008 at two music venues in Bamako. Indoors at Espace Academie and outdoors at "Hotel.' This is with his working band (bass guitar, drums, rhythm guitar, djembe, and balaphon on a few tracks. This is a great album, perhaps not quite as intense as Bamako Nights. This was on CD and then an LP was released with part of the material; I was hoping for a volume 2 with extra tracks but the label failed soon thereafter. Barra Coura is another acoustic guitar duo recording from February 2006, recorded in the same location as the Zani Diabate. Also very good. Lamine Soumano is the second guitarist. One track adds Adama Couloubaly on Bolon. Bamako Nights is on Glitterbeat, recorded live in 1995 by Yves Werner. The band is Alou Dembele, bass, Binke Traore, bass, Yaya Dembele, djembe, and Samba Sissoko, drums. A great record. All of these are in finely recorded sound.

Zani Diabate is superb. I have two CDs and 2 LPs of music from him. He seems lightly recorded, or the music is just hard to access. What may be the final Zani Diabate recording is available for download here: https://kskrecords.bandcamp.com/album/kaboko-zani
