[@NEEDLEGROOVEVINYL]

Love the Mankunku. I find most of the South African jazz from that period is joyful and uplifting. Big fan

100%

Top video James , some great and interesting shows . I have been loving the Kham Meslien the last couple of months and the Mankunku Quartet album is a beauty .

[@ButteryDigs]

Thanks 👍

[@NEEDLEGROOVEVINYL]

I listened to that Meslien on my phone in the middle of the night as we drove to New York this week. It was absolutely perfect. Beautiful record. Will be looking to pick it up on vinyl.

[@ButteryDigs]

So good!

[@hubtunes9607]

Interesting stuff as always James!

[@seekingathread]

Sounds like I'm gonna need to track down this Kham Meslien, sounds way too good. Haven't seen that Touchin On Trane before, very cool. The Xaba and Natives is a beautiful one. Got the most recent reissue of that. Hope to see another vid soon James!

[@juliusjabbar1011]

[@ButteryDigs]

Will do!

Nice selection of records. Big fan of the Mankuku Lp. Awesome 🇿🇦 record.

Kham Meslien album is great. Joe Pass Tone Poet is superb! McLean's Tippin' The Scales, Its Time are classics. Must check out that Mirth lp

[@ButteryDigs]

Thanks Cliff - hope you are doing well. Never heard Tippin' The Scales but its on the list

[@johnbellamy3406]

That Kham Meslien music sounds amazing on my computer. I'd love to hear it on my stereo. It's a beautiful cover.

[@Localbandography]

The Mankunku Quartet is damn good. I featured it in a video for Alex’ Coltrane thread I think. I have never seen that McLean in a shop here. Great find. I still need to pick up Touchin’ On Trane. Killer lineup. Peace.

I need more storage James! Was wondering where you got your cubes from. They look good!

[@ButteryDigs]

Company is called Lundia - you used to be able to buy from them direct online but they look to be a commercial only company these days!

[@scottspinner1]

Just sipping my green tea here watching you’re video lol. Never got that joe pass. Hoping to pick it up cheap. Fab Jackie McLean lp he does a great one with ornette Coleman live. Seen the one with the bass a few times. Great cover and one to look out for.

[@ButteryDigs]

Just replying to comments and about to watch your RSD video next :)

[@georgedendulk3657]

Hello hello what sort of pressing is the Jackie McLean new soil you have there? Is it a modern repress by blue note?

[@ButteryDigs]

Hi George, its a japanese pressing from the late 70s/ early 80s

[@georgedendulk3657]

@@ButteryDigs ah great! Bless the Japanese for their love of jazz and high standard audio technology! Cheers
