Randy Weston..."In Memory Of..."...Tanjah...(Polydor)
I was fortunate to see the great Randy Weston for my third time this week (in NYC, his African Rhythms Big Band, in tribute to early 1900's bandleader James Reese Europe). On top of that, Democracy Now featured Randy for their whole hour this past Monday, as a Black History Special. Check Amy Goodman interviewing Mr Weston here.

Happy birthday this week to The High Priestess Of Soul.
Cymande..."Brothers On The Slide"...Promised Heights...(Janus)
Here's a cut from the very first Cymande record I ever bought, at an outdoor flea market for $1 in Hadley, MA back in the 90s. I have since picked up their entire catalog and they are one of my all time favorite bands, regardless of genre or era.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins..."Africa's Gone Funky"...45...(Versatile)
This is probably my recent fave from the Screamin' Jay catalog.
Mighty Sparrow..."Kennedy & Kruschev"...Sparromania!...(Strut)
Mulatu..."Emnete"...10"...(Soundway)
