jonah, it's a fine album. Of course Burrell is very young back then, I think he sounds quite toned-down and softened. Hawk of course has that beautiful, mellow soulful sound, but it's not soppy like some of his late stuff gets. Tommy Flanagan is here too!
Thanks again Brighternow. Between UbuWeb and Guvera, I'm closing in on having the whole Obscure Records discography. What, a label that only released 10 albums? It must suck by definition.
After flirting a little with the dub-reggae style here and there for a long time, with "Visions of a Psychedelic Ankara" Hayvanlar Alemi has finally realized their dream of making a dub-only record, but one that will tickle the fancy of the psych-rock lover. Includes covers of Eek-a-Mouse classic "Assassinator" and a legendary Turkish radio jingle, reworkings of some old Hayvanlar Alemi tunes, and a couple of improvisations.
Used to be a steal on eMu, now a slightly better deal at Amazon.
@elwood, you're welcome. Believe me, I once had no patience with free/spiritual/spacy/"out there" jazz. But somehow along the line Pharoah became one of my main guys.

EDIT - Guess I might still have to use someone like Amazon for images...
Esbjorn Svensson Trio - "Strange Place for Snow"
Please report. Have never heard that album before.
Now:
fight tuberculosis folks.
A free album by the Swedish band Garmisch on BlocSonic. Unsurprisingly, it sounds like toned-done Cardigans. Worth every penny.
Just call me an indie whore - but this one is growing on me.
"They all sound the same."
"It's all one song."
This is a crazy album. DIY jazz ensemble.
Glad I grabbed this and their other twofer during my last minute on eMu last night.
This album always gets my toes a-tappin'.
