Tom in RI Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 It comes as being in stock at Klompfoot (formerly Cadence North Country). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) thanks. i got someone to download it from itunes for me. not a great tune selection, but there's some good soloing on his 1970's shows. the klompfoot site is straight out of the 1990's. no search function, and a 500 page text list of releases. i'm glad that i got my byard lancaster cimp cd's from cadence before the switch to klompfoot. https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&as_epq=lateef&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=klompfoot.com%2F&as_occt=any&safe=active&tbs=&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gws_rd=ssl Edited April 2, 2015 by l p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Something is screwed up with their website. I tried it a few days ago and the search function worked fine - punch in artist, title, or label and you'd come up with what you wanted. I'm sure that things will be back to normal shortly.

clifford_thornton Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 the klompfoot site is straight out of the 1990's. no search function, and a 500 page text list of releases. at that rate, you'd think they'd just print out a catalog in the middle of their magazines or something...

Mark Stryker Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) There are more than 30 YAL CDs of music listed on Yusef's website -- lots of his classical works, "jazz" recordings, Eternal Winds, freeish 'world music' etc. I had a nice conversation with Yusef's widow a couple weeks ago when she was in town for the opening of the exhibition of his visual art (I posted a piece I wrote in the Jazz in Print forum) and she told about reams and reams of his notated music that has never been played -- four symphonies for starters. I'm going to be in touch with her about trying to see some scores for my Lateef chapter in my book as well as sample some of the recordings. Some I plan to buy. (Yusef and Von Freeman together anyone?) I do own some of the YAL recordings, and I can report that "The World At Peace" with Adam Rudolph and a chamber ensemble as large as 12 players is outstanding. Sort of a multi-stream mix of all of the idioms Yusef was dealing with in the latter part of his life and often a compelling marriage of composition and improvisation and ritual.

l p Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 are there other lateef 1970's albums here http://www.yuseflateef.com/recordings.html besides the bottom line 1977? most of them don't have dates listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stryker Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Don't know ... lot of primary source work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 http://www.yuseflateef.com/recordings.html i checked each entry on this list, and the cd's that do have dates (most of them actually) are from 1990's and 2000's. bottom line 1977 is not on that list for some reason.

paul secor Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Cadence/Klompfoot site is back up. https://www.klompfoot.com/ I punched in artist-Lateef, title-Bottom Line, and label-YAL and found it easily in all three cases. The only problem with Cadence is that shipping is expensive especially if you're ordering only one title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 The Yusef/Ricky Ford album is not for people who demand obvious resolutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
