Autre chose : Harry Whitaker - Black Renaissance
Recorded on Martin Luther King Day in 1976, with money Whitaker had saved from his successful partnership with Roberta Flack, Renaissance was basically bootlegged by a Japanese label (Baystate), who never bothered to inform Whitaker as to its release. When Baystate folded, copies virtually vanished, leaving Whitaker with no distribution, no money, and no way to hear the actual LP. To make matters worse, the master tapes of the recording were destroyed in a fire.
Luckily, the vital reissue label Ubiquity Records has saved the day, keeping this record from being lost to history. Somehow acquiring the rights to the album, they received Whitaker’s permission to give Renaissance a proper release, 25 years after its birth.
