Stan,eg Turrentine - Pieces of Dreams (Fantasy, 1974)

My first ever listen to this. I’d always avoided it because it looked drippy and CTI-ish, which it certainly is, but I’m impressed at how excellent it is.

I've flirted with buying that one. It definitely has something about it apart from the cover photo

I don’t own it, but it’s streamable, which I think is enough for me in this instance. It is a strong release, but I don’t see myself listening to it all that much if I owned it.

This one, on the other hand, I would bite my arm off to buy, although from Discogs, I don’t think that would come close to covering the price.

An arm and a leg, perhaps?

I think I thought the same about the London EJQ and it's telling that I haven't streamed it for a long time.

My knowledge of these SA (?) albums/musicians is next to zero. I need to educate myself so please do keep listening to them...

Edit to add: the cassette's quite cheap, hipster points too :rolleyes:

Ha ha!

So true. Vinyl’s for dads. Streaming is so corporate. The cool kids are all on laserdisc.

I’m gradually feeling my way in. Mostly at the moment I’m checking out what I can find with Basil Coetzee or Sipho Gumede on. Between them they seem to be on a lot of the most well known releases from the 70s and 80s.
