bertrand Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 How is this? Is it a bootleg or legit? I wonder if there are tapes of Hank Mobley there... Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Not heard this one but it is from that fine Gearbox label in London and is legit. The tapes, I believe, were from the Les Tomkins archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Definitely legit as Sidewinder says. It's a good listen, Lateef on fine form on a variety of instruments. Ronnies house band acquit themselves well On Spotify in UK to sample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) I never saw Yusef at Ronnie's, but spotted him crossing nearby Leicester Square during one of his visits. Pretty distinctive figure, with saxophone case, beret and unmistakable nose. Edited May 16, 2018 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 It's a good release. Sound is decent bearing in mind it's age and the simplicity of the equipment used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Not that it matters a whole lot, but where is it written that Gearbox is paying the artists for these recordings? I believe that this recording is technically in the public domain in the EU, so there is no reason that Gearbox would have to contact the estate or make any payments. I'd be pleased to find out that they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 well, guess Gearbox isn't under the EU anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
