JEANNE LEE ‎– CONSPIRACY (SEEDS RECORDS, EARTHFORMS RECORDS, 1975)



I have listened to this many more times since the last post, but the transition in Sundance from the spoken-word poem to the dance between Jack Gregg's bass and Jeanne Lee's vocal is still spine-tingling.

    Very nice seeing this one here. People may not be aware of earlier Jeanne Lee postings, so please check for Jeanne Lee in the list of artists in the right column.

    Lee is one of my favorite jazz vocalists and "Conspiracy" is pretty strong stuff, thanks much, Nick!

    I've been listening to Jeanne Lee, through her recordings with Gunter Hampel, since I bought "8th Of July, 1969" in 1973. I don't think I've ever come across mention of "Conspiracy" before. Many thanks for this.

    Some info :
    I'm not 100% sure but I believe the recent vinyl reissue is not a legit one.
    I know a label who wanted to do a new vinyl edition about two years ago.
    When this label approached Gunter Hampel for the rights of 'Conspiracy' he pointed the label to Jeanne Lee's children. And allegedly they asked for 10000$ - so naturally the label declined...
    If I recall it correctly I've also read at Organissimo forum about the suppossed non-legit status of the recent vinyl reissue.
