  2. Much obliged, riccardo. A top-notch post from you as usual.

    Olu Dara was brilliant here, as he is usual as a sideman, so it's even stranger that his own albums are not even close to this ...

  3. Dara now says that the music he made back then was rubbish. Great shame, as you say he is an important part of the success of the sound, here.

  4. Riccardo,

    I thank you from the botton of my heart for the posts containing Donald smith on Vocals(2 Philip Wilson and Von Freeman)...really obscure stuff...like some long lost tracks fom his days with brother Lonnie.No offence to Lonnie but i actually think Don' is a better all round musician.Nice to see his work being exposed in Blogs like this.
    I thankyou again!
    Regards,

    Franko Valerio

    Anything else i might have missed that features Donald Smith Vocals?

  11. Great contribution Osiris particularly for those two Philip Wilson with Donald Smith, a musician that haven't been much recorded and a band that never officially published a record. I've just listened few minutes but the sound and the music seems perfect, this will make my week end.
