Frank Lowe-Doctor too Much 1977, PKO2 LP

For Tony Continued ... Frank Lowe really was on a Roll, at this point... every release seemingly more potent than the last , this one has a terrific line up.. .. and Lowe had worked frequently with all of them,in various combos
 .. some years ago i believe we posted a contemporaneous show recorded from the Audience at Angouleme FR. without Wadada.Leo Smith.. i'll try to reupload that soon..

As with most Recordings on Kharma , which was run on a shoe string budget, the sound is a little one dimensional, whatever its sonic shortcomings Musically this is superb!
As i may have mentioned a few thousand times ... for me Lowe was the greatest!.. and he is certainly Sorely missed.
his late work has equal gravitas , go to the cadence website and check the audio samples of 'Vision Blue', Bodies and Soul'...' Legends streets one and two'

Brillant share, Sotise. Thank you so much.

many thanks
I tried for years to buy it, but it was nowhere to be found

Thank you so much Sotise. Unlike maghetto, I have found this several times over the years . . . but could never afford the asking price (130 euros plus).
Incidentally, I have three Frank Lowe/Bernard Santacruz albums ('Short Tales', Latitude 44' and 'After the Demon's Leaving'); are they still too 'available' to be uploaded? Thanks again.

SOTISE said...

Martin , you check it out , and use your own judgement im no weathervane
when it comes to availability... in fact i made an error just a few days ago with that Lysis Live post!

An absolute jewel... an Lp I have treasured for years. If there is one dimensionality in the recording, the music makes up for it, + a hard one to find, so a marvelous resource! Don't miss this! Thank you!
