Book Finds

A visit to Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone - and all charity shops. Picked up a DVD set of the first season of The Vampire Diaries for two quid.

The rest were all books today -

Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood Of Breath - MRA

McGregor had a particularly hard time in the UK with his band of African Jazzers although highly acclaimed his first line up disbanded before McGregor went on to form a new group…The story of what happened to some of the guys playing in his first line up and this ‘new’ line up is tragic…Nevertheless this LP, produced by Joe Boyd, does have some fine moments although can be a bit of a wig stretcher, for some at least but not me. The track ‘MRA’ by Dudu Pukwana’ is a solid township groove with a similar feel to Latief’s ‘Sister Mamie’.
