ROBERT RUFF "SHAZA-RA" (BAYSTATE, 1977)






Spiritual Jazz which begins in a relaxed yet grooving mood. During the last piece it starts to burn...
Robert Ruff was unknown to me and I heard of only one other recording with him. It's a very rare and quite expensive LP - it went up to 2100 $ on ebay - maybe someone...: THE WORLD'S EXPERIENCE ORCHESTRA - THE BEGINNING OF A NEW BIRTH, World Productions BSE-1

On youtube one can hear an excerpt of the B-Side ("The Prayer").

Any chance of an MP3 upload for those of us with limited hard drive space? Thank you so much.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

Why don't you transfer it into mp3 by yourself??? and then delete the flacs/wave files!

Any help needed ...?

Another alternative is to purchase an external hard drive that can be attached to the computer via a USB cable. I'm now up to about half a dozen of those. I couldn't manage without them, having filled up the internal hard drive(s) x number of times!

We generally post in lossless to give readers an opportunity to enjoy the best sound quality we can offer. Anybody is of course free to convert the files to whatever sound format they're comfortable with, but providing the files in different formats chew up extra server space, so there's that trade-off to consider.

BTW, thanks to anon for the link to the World's Experience Orchestra lp. Inneresting stuff!

And to onx and riccardo and miloo for keeping the show on the road. I've been a little busy out there in the real word of late, so ...

Tex Allen does play - for example - on:

Gil Evans' "Svengali" / Louis Hayes "Breath of Live" (Muse) / Charles Davis "Iniga!" (Strata-East) + "Dedicated to Tadd" (West)

Hi, it seems that the multiupload website has been down for a while, therefore making it impossible to access the files. Please help. :)

Many thanks for the repost - does anyone still have a copy of World's Experience Orchestra they could share? The link via comments is (inevitably given its age!) dead.
