“Winter in America” by #GilScottHeron was recorded in September and October of 1973 at D&B Sound in Silver Spring, Maryland featuring Scott-Herron on piano and vocals, #BrianJackson on piano, flute and vocals, #DannyBowens on bass and #BobAdams on drums. It was released in May of 1974 on #StrataEastRecords after Scott-Heron had a contract dispute with his former label Flying Dutchman. As the great #GeorgeToliver recalled, #StanleyCowell said, “Hey man, Gill Scott-Heron wants to do a record.” And Toliver replied, “Gil who?” Toliver hadn’t been paying attention to what Gil was doing even though “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” became an iconic thing at the time and Scott-Heron being this spoken-word guy. He had left Bob Thiele’s Flying Dutchman label over a publishing rights dispute. Strata East at the time was a small Black owned record labeled created by George Toliver and Stanley Cowell that allowed musicians to keep 85 percent of their return while the label would only keep 15 percent. It was a label that no longer allowed producers to rip artist off like they had in the past. Brain Jackson recalls, “We had $4,000 burning a hole in our pockets, well that’s enough to produce a record!” So, they made “Winter in America”. They found out in DC that there was a new label being run by black musicians. Strata East didn’t anticipate the album being such a success, but after its release the legendary New York DJ #FrankieCrocker started playing “The Bottle” on his show and it blew up. That song was in such demand that everybody started requesting the single, but it was only on the album. They had never pressed a single before. At the time some of the albums on Strata East didn’t even sell 1,000 copies and now here comes this one album that was getting orders of 10,000. The rest is history. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #jazzjunkie #vinylcollector #vinyllove #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Jazz #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfLuP2rlgx/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Heath Brothers / Marchin’ On! (1976) きのうポストしたアルバムの翌年にジミー・ヒースが兄弟のパーシー、アルバートにスタンリー・カウエルを加えて結成したヒース・ブラザーズのファースト・アルバム。 アルバムの印象は朝もやの中の静寂。幻想的で美しい音楽です。スピリチュアル・ジャズの傑作だと思います。 #AlbertHeath: drums, lead flute, african double reed #JimmyHeath: flute, tenor & soprano sax #PercyHeath: baby bass, bass violin #StanleyCowell: accostic piano & mbira (thumb piano) Produced by #JimmyVenable #cd #cdcollection #coverart #albumart #album #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcollection #musiccollection #lp #jazz #spiritualjazz #contemporaryjazz #StrataEastRecords #BombaRecords #1976 #宮古島 #coffee #コーヒー #rip (宮古島) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7qBJL8JAJr/?igshid=1pw5nepdn7323

Had to grab this reissue and yea I’m claiming this as my first #strataeastrecord. The music on this is absolutely stunning! “Too Little Too Late” overwhelmed me, a bit, emotionally, my first time hearing it. So fucking beautiful to me!
