felser Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/03/arts/music/strata-east-records-jazz-music.html Just starting to read this now, but anything that draws widespread attention to the label at this late date has to be a good thing. Now if we could just get CD reissues for the Jazz Contemporaries 'Reasons In Tonality' and the Mtume 'Alkebu-lan, sets, as well as some of the other gems the label released in the 70's!

rostasi Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 without the paywall Alkebu-Lan: As a child, I could recite the "Invocation" from memory. Have a few well-worn copies. My go-to Strata East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I've seen a few things about Alkebu-Lan recently and had assumed it was re-released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
