School's out so I got more time to check in with the familyI did so and came up on literally a small mother(father)loadMy dad is a very uptight guy who doesn't want his kids touching anything.He opened up his collection of LP's to me as a xmas giftBrazilian 
Jorge Ben and Vinicius stuff but i am really excited about the Aparecida-Foram 17 anos (looks like afro-brazilian)My dad is senegalese... mad african stuff 
I'm really hyped about the messe de Yaounde (left center) African masses have mad instruments and shit in them. African-Gospel? looks ill (also a nice 45 of the same type in the collection) More african thangs 
My parents had some interesting random stuff 
The grupo expirimentacion (centere) looks interesting (nice cover) and for the project I am working on the FATAH songs of resistance (no overt palestine support) will surely be useful. Not a great picture but bottom center is some celtic psych harp.Pellegrin El Khady (left and right center) is very personal to me. He is of morrocan and ghanean descent and his stuff is Afro-beat with an arab guitear and lyrick approach. He was a good friend of my dad and a uncle type figure in my life. His shows at the MTL Jazz fest as a kid were always incredible. It's funny to see that record in record stores around here. I have doubles (one autograph) and a sealed copy. The bejart ballet lp is psych But what's sweet is that I had it on reserve in a Record store (this dancer girl I checking for loves Bejart french dance choreographer) wont be spending that 10$Finally descent jazz stuff 
Hammond master Jimmy Smith-It's 
(live from his own club) Mingus live, brubeck and some Tatum. Plus highlights from an african jazz convention (bottom centre)This is a small portion of the collection (my mom has interesting quebec prog) Free great records I am loving it. I came up nicely, good tunes for the holidays.

I found some good stuff in my parents collection that I thought was ill
like Can, Ramsey Lewis and experimental jazz but nothing like this.
kudos to them and you!
He's travelled senegal-france-canada, some of his stuff is still in senegal (international digs will take place
Some great french stuff and quebec prog from mama Not shown here (I am planning on posting about said genres)
My older sister took some stuff before I even new about it I'll see whatsup on christmas day
Melvin Van Peebles - Sweet Sweetback's Baaadassss Song
Roy Ayers Ubiquity - Vibrations [/b](I swear I have like 3 copies of this already but can't resist buying any copy I find)
Joe Turner And His Blues Kings - Flip Flop And Fly 78 rpm
Les McCann - Invitation To Openness
Zapp - Zapp II
Roger - The Many Facets Of Roger [/b] (both the Zapp and Roger albums were super clean...seems like I run across Zapp albums a lot but they're *always* beat to shit)
sheeeyit.
DIE!!
i got-
-Andrew Hill- One for one (Blue Note. feels great to cross this off the long-time wantlist, especially when the record is easily as good as i'd hoped, beautiful, NM copy)
-Clarence Wheeler - Love I've been Looking for (Atlantic)
-Obo Addy- Kukrudu (Avocet)
picked up the 1st Pearls Before Swine- One Nation Underground
estate sale rant: stopped on the way into work this morning. I know this type of digging is all about patience and persistence, but i haven't copped anything good all year at estate sales. Why is there an unwritten rule that every estate sale have at least one copy of the AWB s/t album? today they had 2. i mean its a great record but enough already!!
if u dont like that, i wouldnt bother with the rest. i would still check out Use of Ashes though. its pretty different than that one. much more mellow. very beautiful stuff
this is what i imagine Hcrink looking like
yeah maybe i need to give it another spin. I mean its aiight but it just doesn't sound that good to me. this guy sings with a lisp or something? i do like mellow though...
Mailman just brought me a Perry Robinson 4- "funk dumpling" on BYG. Great line up with Kenny Barron, Henry Grimes and Paul Motian.
fairly recent (within the last month or 3). i love motown instrumental albums.
Someone was saying in the piano trio thread that the SS cover of Money Jungle is better than the UA with the photo
mmm I don't thank so...
PS nice finds
never heard this one, but his more rootsy juju stuff (no moog or disco) is definitely
duly noted
that was me. i just like the artwork better, it's more fitting for the title of the album. either way, the music itself is undeniable, and that's what counts. peace.

Went to school with OBO's son, Alex. Saw his father's Afro-Funk group many times growing up. Sick.

does anyone have any info on the charles brown album? can't find any info online...label is probably private: fracture electronic music catalog FEM 101. i picked it up on a whim because of the description on the back:
side one is intended to be pop music via the electronic, as opposed to the electric medium. requisite was the emphasis on dance beat, with complexity subservient to the rhythm. on side two, more unusual timbres and rhythms are explored. the material is a program based on a very unpleasant stay in the hospital with a kidney stone.[/b]
