yeah. with desert fairy. is the rest of the album good?
I get asked that a lot and honeslty I'm just not into it, but I'm not really into any of the Tapscotts outside of his Flying dutchman release.
here in LA I beleive you can still find that album sealed in many stores. I'll look around this week to see if I can find one. I think they also sell it o nthe Nimbus website
the only spare copy of any dollar brand i have right now is his African Piano LP on Japo. which i quite like, but it is a solo piano record but i believe '71 or '72 if remember correct. amazing artist. i remember diving in to as much as i could find before spending a summer in Cape Town 6 years ago (note that it was winter there!).
yeah. his music hasn't really struck me until now. i think appreciating mary lou williams has helped that.
very subtle music with all the right ingredients...
do you have a copy of 'underground in africa'?
no offense, but other than the fact that they both play piano, not sure what the link is between mary lou and abdullah ibrahim ?????? i don't think their music is similar in the slightest.
no, i don't have a copy of underground in africa... that one is hard to find. the only spare dollar brand lp that i have avail. is the one that I listed above.
ok. no offence taken. maybe im comparing the MLW and DB to the tracks ive heard so far. i just get the same feeling from their music: rhythmic, contemporary, and slightly spare.
there's probably no connection but listening to 'kalahari' made me feel it.
