S’ok, I sold it this week, it’s currently on its way to a much more appreciative home!
Are these actuel releases pretty good? My local has a few of the OG copies but they want like $50 a piece for them. I have seen some reissues too that are a quit a bit less.Don Cherry- Mu first part.View attachment 38976
You posted this one in here a few weeks ago, and was totally intrigued by the the artist name and album title. I still dont know anything about this person/group, but the music is incredibly interesting and evocative of Something. Jazz, traditional Asian motifs, electric guitar, plastic cup percussion? I've streamed it enough now that I should just get the record already. I love this thread for exposing me to albums I would never have known about otherwise. Thanks for sharing this one @Matt M !

I LOVE Donald Byrd but I really do not care for this LP. I am all in on his earlier hard bop stuff and the later 1970’s releases especially Ethiopian Knights thru Places and Spaces are blissfully funky but Fancy Free does nothing for me.Weird. I just sold mine this week as well.

Well said. I agree completely. I Love this album, it’s like world music influenced Lo-fi Jazz. I guess it’s a compilation from some previous releases. I have listened to some of his spoken word stuff which doesn’t do much for me, I am glad they compiled all the instrumentals on to a single LP, it all flows together really well.It's one of my favorites of 2020 so far. It has been stimulating in quiet surroundings and, depending on my mood, profoundly moving. I view it more as an ambient record than anything else, but I suppose jazz fits the genre description.
I am looking to get a copy as well...but looking to avoid dropping $31 shipped for an limited colored LP on Bandcamp. Still hunting down a good deal.
