    it has its moments but unless you are a strata junkie or a vocal jazz maven you may find that the going rate is slightly excessive. for the price of that one you could buy 4 or 5 of the more common and better titles.

    question: just picked up a cecil mcbee on strata and it has a green label. is this an international or european press?

    what is this? I've had this for a few years now, and I still cant find anything about the artist or any other Strata 45s

    nice 45 as well, along the lines of Esther Morrow

    Yeah the billy C is not a must have.

    I have no idea re: green label, but I have a copy of charles rouse "two is one" with a blueish label that has "distributed by audiofidelity" on it... does yours look otherwise like other strata-east pressings?

    hit or miss...usually at least one jam on it....there is one...which I like only 1 side...but, damn that side is nice....

    I think it depends on your love/embracing of jazz as the beggining orientation to it...like it's jazzy latin...or avante jazz, funky jazz, etc...

    Does anyone know some background on these three strata-east records:
    1: Composer's Workshop Ensemble "(We've Been) Around"
    2: The Pyramids "Birth Speed Merging 1976"
    3: Milton Marsh "Monism"

    Up until a few years ago you could order milton marsh for $20 from the man sealed. He even had a website, order form and everything.

    does ANYONE have ANY info on the 45 I posted? It is starting to drive me bonkers...someone has to have one or have another strata 45, or something else by this lady...all I can find is a cut on a spoken word compilation and I dont even know if it is the same person.....

    Lee cooper is a male artist right?? if so, i believe maybe has a backround in gospel/jazz... and even choir. I recognize the cooper-twine credit.

    We Are Heroes
    arr. by Cooper/Twine


    best i can tell, lee cooper & linda twine composed a handful of tracks during the 60s/70s or whenever and we're around during the black jazz scene. Most likely 45 only ?

    I have no idea, but you've been asking about it for a long while, you'd think somebody would have info? Did you post up audio at some point, I'd love to hear it.
