Sabu is fantastic. Have yet to hear a bad record by him, although I do
have a suspicion that I now have almost all his 'greats', and the rest
may be just be more standard latin jazz.
'Sorcery' is the most exotic, 'Jazz Espagnole' is great latin jazz,
'Afro Temple' adds banging funk drums, like Pucho or someone, and 'Palo
Congo' is that very percussion orientated, early afro-cuban jazz sound -
just guitar, congas, bongos, african percussion etc. All those four have
been reissued relatively recently.

The two solo albums are all instrumental, save for a section on one of
the tracks on 'All to bring you morning' which has Jon Anderson (from
Yes etc) singing. (Actually two others from Yes are playing on the album
I think, but don't let that put you off).
'Movements' is much harder and faster than the 2nd LP. Sounds more like
Don Sebesky 'Distant galaxy' or something. Would have to listen to it
again to think of a better comparison.

Sabu isn't the leader, but he stands tall on Art Blakey's "Orgy In Rhythm,
Vols. 1 & 2" (reissued on Blue Note a few years back). I raved about it on
here not too long ago. Great romping percussion. Another hot tip from Tony
Wilds.

I was in a Salvation Army the other day in the "antiques" nook. Since the basement is full of vinyl that I've combed through, I thought I'd bother in the special area. I was completely confused. Every time I see John Denver records or Peter Frampton albums in one of those collectable areas, I just shake my head, and I want to say something to someone who works there but what's the point? And in addition to there being more useless crap in the records in the collectable area than in the regular area, the one potentially worthwhile record I found was merely an empty sleeve! It was absurd. Later, a guy came up with a shopping cart full of stuff to be put in this area, and he immediately showed me a Redd Foxx comedy record as though I was supposed to be impressed or want it. I wanted to ask who makes these decisions about what constitutes a "collectable" for the little room, and what those decisions are based on. But I am grateful for the fact that I've only bought two things in th
at room compared to hundreds of other things in the rest of the store. And luckily the tiki mugs never go in that room, nor the albums that should, like the Frank Comstock outer space record I found there (cover in piss poor shape but vinyl nearly immaculate) a year ago.
Online record sales? Great. Will there be Salvation Army auctions? $10 starting bid for this beat up copy of Frampton Comes Alive! Ha ha.
