GA Russell Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have come to like a promo I've received by a Bay Area group that has travelled in the past called Anthony Brown's Asian American Orchestra. The album is called India & Africa, and is made up of Coltrane (composed or performed) songs. The group is a 16-member ensemble, featuring instruments from India and Africa to provide an interesting comparison to the Coltrane songs most here are familiar with. The album was recorded live in concert, all but one track at Yoshi's Oakland in April. The material says that it was released Sept. 28, but there is an error on the Amazon page (listing another album in its place), and it is not yet listed at CDBaby.

LWayne Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have two CDs by Anthony Brown. Both "Monk's Mood" and "Far East Suite" are well done and worth owning. If I recall correctly, the "Monk's Mood" received a (rare) 5 star review in Downbeat a couple of years back. LWayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazaro Vega Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Thanks for the tip -- he sent a copy to Blue Lake Public Radio and we've been playing it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
