Catalog #:
PRCD 1500CD
"Birigwa was a 23 year-old African acoustic guitarist and vocalist who cut this record in the early '70s with the help of jazz players such as Vinnie Johnson (drums), Phil Morrison (bass) and Stan Strickland (flute & saxophone). Soaring vocals and strong rhythmic grooves dominate this unique mixture of Afro-jazz, heavily leaning towards African music, originally released in 1972 on the Seeds label."

Price:
$16.50
Catalog #:
PRCD 1501CD
"A funky, soulful and bluesy jazz record. A unique recording that defies any easy categorization. Great grooves, soulful singing on three tracks ('Siren Song,' 'Gin House Blues' and 'See See Rider') by Latifah (Brenda James) and lots of electric piano are liberally spread around on this recording, plus a wide range of great guitar styles from the likes of Lance Gunderson, Paul Lenart and John Abercrombie. Originally a private pressing released in 1972, this is the first time it's been issued on CD."

$15.00
Catalog #:
PRCD 1502CD
"These rare recordings made between 1970-1973 are now available on CD for the first time. Transferred from the original master tapes, this recording finds saxophonist and free-jazz legend Byard Lancaster playing his trademark sound in a live setting. At times the music is very wild and free, at other points, it is quiet and melancholy. Musicians include: J.R. Mitchell (percussion), Calvin Hill (bass), Paul Morrison (electric bass), Lester Lumley (conga), Sid Simmons (piano) and Joe Hunter (bass). Tracks are: '1324,' 'Last Summer,' 'War World,' 'Live At Macalester' and bonus tracks 'World In Me' and 'Thought.'"

Tapestry
Label:
PORTER RECORDS
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
PRCD 1503CD
"A truly remarkable blend of '70s fusion and free-jazz, available for the first time on CD, transferred from the original master tapes, with one additional bonus track. This recording from 1974 was recorded at Ornette Coleman's Artist House and has a very spacious feel to it, due in part to the addition of a Fender Rhodes, a vibraphone and two electric basses. Great line-up of Jerome Cooper (The Revolutionary Ensemble), Khan Jamal, Richard Daniel (who along with Ted Daniel co-founded Brute Force) and Tim Ingles. A must for those interested in Miles Davis' '70s work."

The Complete Recordings Vol. 1
Label:

Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
PRCD 1509CD
"In the early '70s a band named Catalyst was formed in the heart of Philadelphia. The core of the group was Odean Pope, Sherman Ferguson, Eddie Green and Al Johnson (who was replaced by Tyrone Brown after their first album). The band drew from a wide range of musical styles; jazz, funk, R&B, avant-garde and fusion all found their way into the creative sonic tapestry of Catalyst. With the given talents of Catalyst they could have and should have been bigger but sadly they found themselves with little promotion or recognition outside the proximity of Philadelphia. Thankfully Catalyst were able to leave behind four extraordinary recordings that will appeal to both jazz-heads and those in the hip-hop community." Volume 1 features tracks from the albums
Catalyst
and

3rd Version
Label:
PORTER RECORDS
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
PRCD 1511CD
"
3rd Version
is Eero Koivistoinen's seventh album and finds him in the company of other excellent Finnish musicians: pianist Heikki Sarmanto, guitarist Jukka Tolonen, bassist Pekka Sarmanto and drummer Reino Laine, plus American drummer Craig Herndon. Except for Tolonen, who is mostly associated with jazz-rock fusion due to his membership in the legendary Finnish bands Tasavallan Presidentti and Wigwam, the rest of the players are all pillars of the Finnish modern jazz scene and all are virtuosi on their respective instruments. The music could be generally categorized as fusion, but this is the European strain of fusion, which is more focused, with every moment contributing a new vista to the music. At long last this cornerstone of the '70s Finnish jazz scene is once again made available."
