This collection contains three sealed, dead-stock LPs from Spiritual Jazz drummer, composter, and Idibib label owner Doug Hammond.
• Stephan Kurmann Strings - Strings (1988)
• Doug Hammond -We People (1989)
• Muneer A.F & The Rhythm String Band Vol. III - For Them (1989)
These are the last known sealed copies, all pulled from Doug Hammond's Detroit basement. These albums, while sealed, and assumed to be in NM condition, are sold as is. There are no returns. The styles range from the modal jazz to minimalist percussion to Spiritual Jazz. We People features Tribe Records’ co-founder Wendell Harrison.
Hammond wrote: “LPs have to be part of my income these days. I made LPs (on Idibib Records) to get playing jobs and sell on tour when I realized such would be the only way I could work my bands. All tour managers were hooked up with a known name or rising-star from a record label. My daughter was born so I had to manufacture work somehow. Making LPs and books and playing drums were my bread and butter until “disco beat” came and R&B was put on the back shelf. This crisis halts much but I will use the time to prepare for the solo recording. I think to go in the studio for better clarity and quality because it should get me more and better live solo concerts.”
