hi listmembers,

saw this again on a. lankin`s site for forthcoming releases

Slide Hampton - Mellow-Dy (LRC) Mar 15
— half with Martial Solal, Henri Texier and Daniel Humair
— half with Nathan Davis, Dave Pike, Hampton Hawes, Henri Texier and Daniel Humair
— from 1967-68; five comps by Hampton; one by Hawes

is this a reissue, and if yes, could somebody supply tracklisting and each track`s running time ?

thanks in advance

- Lament
- Impossible Waltz
- Chop Suey

Quartet-side with Solal

- Mellow-dy
- The Thing
- Us Six

Sextet-side with Hawes

sorry I've no running time available!

From the Jazzmatazz site listing it looks like a lot of those Laserlight discs are coming up again.

And they're priced at $4.89!


Anyone have any opinions on this one:

Dr. Lonnie Smith - Afrodesia (http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=5636829&style=music&frm=lk_jzmtz) (LRC) Mar 15
-- with George Benson, Joe Lovano, Bob Cranshaw, Ben Riley

I have the track "When The Night Is Right" and it is FUNKY, alone worth the price of admission on this one.

Afrodesia is a kinda mixed bag, a bit "commercial" (or in some spots, VERY commercial) but good enough overall. It's VERY early Lovano, though, so don't expect what you think you'll get. ;)

Mellow-dy is a total kickass disc. Late-60s Euro-Amrico modalish/advanced hardboppish hard swinging sparks fly throughout. Highly recommended!
