I say this in another post, but the reply is relevant here to so excuse me for repeating myself:

Fadel

I am not a great fan of Jazz, I much prefer Swing and Boogie Woogie.

I expecially don't really like the more experimental improvised jazz but I love the comparison of Jimmy Smith with Jackie Mittoo.

I do like Jimmy Smith's stuff and have some on CD.

I have many Mittoo LPs on vinyl where the line between Jazz and reggae starts to blur. Great stuff.

Other Jazz I do like includes the brilliant Stan Getz - Jazz Samba LP.

oh i love jimmy smith adore jackie mittoo and stan getz who performed memorable concerts in senegal back in early 80's
i would be glad if you could rip for me some of the jackie mittoo i don't have on cd and the stan getz too.
definetely we have the same musical taste and have in common some jaazz acts as our favourite
i will be very grateful to you if you could do me this favour

Pablove Black-Charcoal Charlie
Rico Rodriguez-Brixton Cat
Rico Rrodriguez-Blow Your
Skatalites-Return of the Big Guns

Also Tommy McCook 'Blazing Horns"

Fadel. All my Mitto is on Vinyl. i can convert it to CD but you will need to nag me daily to do it as I don't like to do it - lots of effort just to ruin the lovely vinyl sound and I am also rather lazy!!

But nag me all the same and you might get some great Mittoo.

Do you have Getz Jazz Samba? That I do have on CD so a rip would be easy. I also have some J SMith on CD.

PM me for my email addy.

oh i would love to be nagging you all the time for that but i know how time is against most people in the west.
so i would love thikose jazz stuff you have on cd:stan getz,jimmy smith.
iam also looking for these albums that came on cti records in the 70's"spanish blue"by ron carter and"the san francisco concert"by flautist hubert laws,and"my song"by pianist keith jarrett

relaxing and stirs emotions too.

Have looked for Im Flash Forward for long time. Any chance of setting me up with rips?

Generally, otherwise - I love the instrumental reggae - where are all the young new Jamaican players?

Tommy McCook's Top Secret. Love it. The CD reissue is a good rip of the vinyl - maybe even from tapes, dunno. Great tunes on there.
Everything Jackie Mittoo

Never have been able to warm to the Ranglin stuff - as a guitarist (mainly) I should empathize but I don't get his stuff.

The Trojan box set of instrumentals has some really wonderful tracks that have been keeping me happy for years. One of them comes on the ipod and I'm in a happy place.

The Tommy McCook and the Supersonics instrumentals on any of the Duke Reid/Treasure Isle compilations is almost always good - even - even the sound of music track about the goat. Hilarious but seriously good music - it is titled: Laba Laba Reggae (the Lonely Goat Herd) !!!!
What's that all about?

Of course all of the LP Upsetters instru stuff. It's almost all good.

Why do you ask?
Love it all (except for that which I don't!)

'I'm flash forward' is quite easy to find. I think I downloaded it 5 years ago or something...

regarding 'Im Flash Forward again - maybe I haven't looked for it for about that long! Been pretty busy with a kid and the day job - I'll have a look for it.
