JSngry Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 East was the private label of James Spaulding. It was founded in 1970. Uhuru Sasa / Give It Up was the only record released under the label. Ok, who knew? Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I assumed that, rather, it was associated with The East as in the cultural center in Brooklyn active during the 1970s (Mtume Umoja Ensemble; Pharoah Sanders; etc.). I have a nice-sounding rip of it and it's a very fun listen. Originals are rare as hen's teeth and about as expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I know his music a 45rpm would not offer enough space of time for his outbursts. As for "the East" yes I remember it as the place where Pharoah made his album "Life at the East". Imho one of the best albums he ever did. It was my first then in the 70´s and I still have it. Mtume? The great percussionist who later played with Miles ?

clifford_thornton Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yes, that Mtume. The East was run by poet Weusi Kuumba if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
