I only have about half of these, but I've listened to the Land, Jordan, Counce, and Newman recently - sure you'll enjoy those. I have good memories of the Pepper and the Newborn, but it's been some time since I listened. Keep meaning to pick up Vertigo & Coolin' while they're still around. Believe Coolin' is oop - glad you got a copy. You have a lot of good listening ahead of you. Quote

A lot of blatant Revolver-era Beatles influence, but it's good such influence. And another for Oliver Nelson's AFRO-AMERICAN SKETCHES (75th anniversary of his birthday is coming up, btw.)

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Well, I had an enjoyable few days in Paris a couple of weeks ago, mainly looking for African music. But, as I got into Paris at 7 AM, I had to kill a couple of hours before the hotel room was ready. So I decided to browse in Virgin, Barbes, rather than fall asleep in a café, and found this: Fairly expensive at 26 Euro, but not bad for a 2 CD set. And I’d been looking vainly for this on the web, so I wasn’t in any mood to quibble. Ricky Ford is absolutely sensational on this! The next day, I hit the African shops in the Goutte d’Or. CDs first – all of these were 10 Euro! Diamond Fingers’ first album as a leader. Wow! What a great one, too! This is probably the first recording of Kandia Kouyate, whose recent recordings “Kita Kan” and “Biriko” have been pretty popular in the West. This was the first of a number of albums from the Cote d’Ivoire that I bought. I had one of Awa Maiga’s earlier albums already and this doesn’t disappoint. Another lady from Cote d’Ivoire. Good tenor sax work from Allen Hoist on this one. More Ivorien stuff. I already had “Premiere Gaou” on a K7. This edition also has the group’s first album, “Papito” on it, as well as a CD of remixes and duets with others. Gnonnas is well known from his work with Africando. Good Afro-Salsa stuff. Now on to the more expensive CDs – 13 Euros each Fallou is one of my Malax favourites. This is his latest album. The gorgeous Coumba is another great Mbalax singer. This is her latest. This one from Viviane is very much a Hip Hop release with a load of different rappers guesting. I think I'm trying to post too much in one post. Continued... MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 A 2004 album from Fallou, produced by Lampe Fall Productions, where I bought most of these albums. A 2004 album from Coumba. Very nice indeed. Ouza is my all time favourite musician (with Grant Green), so this is obviously on my all time list! The third Magic System album – now I have them all! Each is better than the one before. A great album by the most popular singer in Guinea. You can actually buy this one on the web, but the price is a lot more than 13 Euros. Now on to the K7s, at 3 Euro each! First the Senegalese Mbalax material. Fatou has a fabulous voice. Mamadou was one of the original lead singers of Super Diamono, and I think the best of them. Ablaye was featured a lot in the 90s with Youssou Ndour. This is his fourth album and the best – it’s one of the most beautiful Mbalax albums I’ve heard. Assane Ndiaye began his career with Thione Seck but is now one of the most popular young singers in Senegal. He sings like an angel. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Alioune Mbaye, dit Nder, began his career with Lemzo Diamono. He’s never made a bad album. I think this is the original issue of Youssou’s East/West album “Egypt”, on his own label Jololi. An interesting album from Ouza – the first on which he’s incorporated a rapper. Haven’t got around to hearing this yet. These two are more conventional Mbalax albums from the latest Senegalese sweetheart of Mbalax. Now on to Djeliya material from Guinea & Senegal This is slightly disappointing compred to her first album, but it’s a good average. Djeuor is the son of the great classical kora player Soundioulou Cissokho and plays a slightly Mbalax-influenced kind of Djeliya. Ibro Diabate is another of my firm favourites – a very soulful voice. This is the Guinean Fode Kouyate (as opposed to the Malian one of that name, who’s dead). MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Now some Serahule Blues from Mali. Haven’t listened to any of these yet. Ganda Fadiga is the nearet I ever get to buying rural blues! And when I got back home, there were two Sonny Stitt’s waiting for me from Amazon.fr (as if I didn’t already have enough Stitt). So I shan’t go short of new things to play! MG Quote
