這些傑作,一張接一張絕版...
早期ECM以外,唯一讓人想按編號找來聽的爵士廠牌。
廠牌的風格走向,與其創辦人(之一)兼大台柱鋼琴手Stanley Cowell六零年代末開始的spiritual black new jazz大致相同。而恰好Stanley Cowell的兩部代表作,一在此Strata-East (見下面推薦),另一在ECM。
推薦:
Stanley Cowell - Musa: Ancestral Streams (1973)
Charles Tolliver/Music Inc. - Live at Slugs Vol. 1&2 (1972)
Harold Vick - Don't Look Back (1974)
The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe - A Spirit Speaks (1973)
The John Betsch Society - Earth Blossom (1974)
Clifford Jordan - In the World (1969)
Bruce Johnson and Rodney Jones - The Liberation of the Contemporary Jazz Guitar (1977)
Charles Sullivan - Genesis (1974)
......等。(很多還沒聽,持續增加中)
