I got this LP in the sales-bin of a tiny record shop in Copenhagen. Never seen it again afterwards. A great musical bridge between cultures, and a very spontaneous, inspired set.
pressing could be better, i did my best to remove noises - have fun!
cheers

Very cool, thanks.
This is absolutely fantastic.
There are youtube clips of Okay Temiz and Johnny Dyani playing with Don Cherry that are incredible, and apparently they all played along with a James Baldwin Istanbul once. One can dream.
Thanks

This blog continues to astound me with the quality and breadth of material! Thank you all very much! -mb

I hold onto my copy very dearly and play it everytime I feel like dancing.
Cheers / Ozibm
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for all Okay Temiz uploads. I was very much looking for them for years and years. I hope to find Temiz`s Drummer of the Two Worlds album.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been looking for this record for years, after I read a blurb about it. Every time I see it on Ebay there asking for well over $100. Thanks for this share, I am really looking forward to hearing this LP.
I hope you may like my Okay Temiz TV documentary and video uploads; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIzCFEBaCpg

@Oyster,
thanks for the extended Okay Temiz doku! i admit i still did not have the time to watch the long clips (45-50 min) completely, but they give many nice impressions!
cheers,
Owombat
to think that pompous rip-off gavin bryars had the nerve to speak badly of johnny dyani!!
be like chris botti talkin' smack about miles davis!
dyani ranks as one of the greatest folk-jazz bass players of all time, alongside mingus and the great bill lee.
coupled with temiz! always amazing
cheers
seriously ill.
this album is a beast in the word's greatest sense.
An unknown masterpiece.
thank you.
listening no, kicks ass!
arigato mucho!

Enjoy
Can someone re-up it, the actual link on music around the world provide only a mp3 file, if someone have the flac it would be great!!
thanks
Hi
A re-up would be great?
thank in advance
Yes many months later adding my voice to re-up requests which are now a year old...
After searching again for this rip I haven't found it anywhere.
Probably it could be found on someone else's hd or cd-r.
I would appreciate a re-up as well.
Thank you very much, mew23!!!
