Description
For your consideration this auction is for a 1958 Riverside records release (12-287) of Ahmed Abdul-Malik's middle-eastern music with Johnny Griffin an interesting blend or fusion of Jazz and World music.
I screen all records in these lots for bad scratches or covers and I replace sleeves if needed. All are in excellent playing condition. Please give me good feedback and I will do the same.Thanks for looking!!.. This rare original LP issue is an early example of fusing jazz with world music. Abdul-Malik switches between bass and oud; interacts closely with the droning violin of Naim Karacand, Jack Ghanaim's kanoon (a 72-string instrument), and Mike Hamway's darabeka (a percussive drum); and mixes in Al Harewood's drums and (on three of the four selections) the tenor of Johnny Griffin. The music is a qualified success, essentially Middle Eastern folk music with Griffin added in. This set is interesting and, in its own way, innovative.
I have finally decided to sell my entire collection of LP's(It's retirement time!!!) I welcome wishlist of lp's I have thousands of titles to get through!!!! I will combine auctions for shipping, I will entertain buy it now offers, Please be reasonable... I will ship local (US) as well as overseas and charge only actual shipping to your door not a penny more.
