What music did you buy today?

Arrived some time today

Orchestre No 1 - No 2 de No 1 - Dakar Sound

Just caught up with this - it's been around since 2000 and I didn't know. Probably recorded around 1976. Unlike "No 1 de No 1", which had vocals mainly by Pape Seck (and was by Star Band No 1, the alternate name for the band), this has all vocals by Mamadou Allasane Sow and Mar Seck, whom I like very much, I have 2 of his recent K7s.

Very nice stuff. Glad I've got "No 3 de No 1" coming in.

Wow! Another Dakar Sound release I missed! This came out ten years ago. It's a two CD set. The first is studio recordings (ie made at the Sangomar night club during the day), the second is a live gig. All recorded between 1964 and 1974. Dexter Johnson was a Nigerian saxophonist who was a leader in the transition of Senegalese music towards modern Mbalax. These recordings are mainly Latin-style. These are the first recordings of Dexter Johnson I've heard. You can't really tell that he was (as he obviously was) an admirer of a certain Bebop tenor player...

Really good and interesting stuff. There's another volume which I've just ordered.

These 2 CDs were my first LY recordings I bought and they still my favorite together with his keynote.

Very much looking forward to listening to that one.

Is the Keynote material still available? The only Young I've got is the Aladdin material. I should certainly get more.

This is for you MG: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Lester-Youn...e/dp/B000004728

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

You got me, Bentsy!

Even with higher postage, that was cheaper than Amazon UK's lowest.

Funny, I thought there'd be more than just 8 tracks with alternative takes. Prez got three R&B chart entries out of these recordings. So that's three out of four singles on the chart. He was pretty popular! (And rightly so.)

Thanks!

Oh, and this one turned up this morning

Unfortunately, it has this cover

But it's still HOT!

Mostly Other People Do The Killing -- "This Is Our Moosic"

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Two more albums of early African recordings of Salsa turned up this morning.

A compilation of seventies material by Star Band No 1, in various guises.

SO impressed with Dexter Johnson's even earlier stuff that I got on Thursday, I ordered this one, which is material recorded between 1964 and 1968.
