Miles Davis "Circle in the Round" Columbia Records (from the Complete Columbia Albums box set) cd 2

Remember that one when it came out, like mana from heaven. Didn’t hesitate to buy the 2LP set.

Bought it when it came out. A gem. Barron and Curson were an ideally matched team.

I had my copy signed by both (in different locations and at different times). Greg said the absence of a piano player (which leaves a gap IMHO) was the idea of the record producer, but he thought it was well compensated for by the presence of Harvie S. Gary was very interested in the CD, as he'd never seen it before!

I like this one better than the first. Frank Haynes, Bill Hardman & Billy Gardner. Who could ask for anything more? (Apart from Columbia hiring better sleeve designers.)

Breakfast today with

Fela Kuti - Again - Excuse-o - Coconut 1976

Fela Kuti - JJD (Johnny just drop) - Afrodisia  1977

Gwigwi's Band - Kwela - 77 Afro series (the only one in 77's Afro series ) 1967. (Arr & Alto sax; Dudu Pukwana, leader & alto sax; Gwigwi Mrwebi, pno, Chris McGregor - v interesting band but the normal kind of Township stuff I like. Which means this probably isn't a recommendation.)

Flying Lotus "Flamagra" Warp Records cd

[JSngry]

Probably would have had more enthusiasm about this, like...20 years ago, but still and all,  a fine album. John Stubblefield adds value, for sure.

Ok, the last tune, "Big Girls", Stubblefield brings it home,. I'm playing "Shelf or Share" with a couple of boxes of things, and this one was going to be shared until this last cut. Stubblefield is moving it to the shelf!
