I wrote the liner notes for the Japanese reissue of IMANI’s album “Out Of The Blue”.
It has been called the “ultimate private press” of bay area jazz. Only 500 copies of this privately pressed record were released in 1983.
I interviewed Joaquim from the MAD ABOUT RECORDS label who licensed this album, and he told me interesting stories about how he it came about. Please check out this amazing rerelease!
