Pete La Roca: Basra - 1965
by Marc Davis
When drummer Pete La Roca recorded Basra in 1965, the Iraq war was decades away. Today, the name Basra evokes memories of the 2003 invasion. A recording called Basra in 2016 would probably make listeners think of Saddam Hussein. Not a good association. But in 1965? It was just an exotic-sounding, Middle Eastern name.

Blue Note On Blu-Ray

SACDs, Blu-Ray discs and hi-res downloads accurately represent the affective details of ...
