I like how he says "let's get down let's get down let's get down", sounds like he means it and he knows what he's talking about about.

I never did pick up this material on CD. I do have the LPs, and they'll have to do for now.

I have both. It's desert-island music for me. 🙂

By "the LPs", do you also have the Friday the 13th Cook Count Jail  LP, which has half a side of Lucky that is not live at all but is very good. Example:

 

Sonny Lester playing games again ...

I do.

Hey, I'm with you. Those Lucky sides are unique, and uniquely good!

Even though I love the bari sax sound, I rarely play Gil Melle. I have the 2 CD Blue Note set but not this one. Is this material similar to the music he made for Blue Note?

I have not listened to both in quite some time. But IIRC the Prestige sessions are a bit more straightahead. Great playing by his sidemen, too.

Mike Ladd - Negrophilia: The Album

I remember being very disappointed with this record back when it was released in 2005. I was deep into Thirsty Ear and, at the time, had not yet realised that "Alternative Hip Hop" as it was called then was a polite cul-de-sac. Revisiting it now two decades later it doesn't seem any better quality-wise (the production in particular is third rate), but it is at least a bit charming, which some of its successors in style could perhaps learn from. There was lots wrong with Ladd's music but at least it always felt like a chat with a friend.

Is that the single? Busta Rhymes was one of the background sounds to my teenage years. The opposite of mumblerap.
