Bargain Bins everywhere are really looking forward to this.

Exactly

I was able to download the full album today and it sounds great! I love the whole concept and am excited about the project. I really hope it gets some attention from current jazz makers and fans. It would play really well on NPR. My one complaint is that I wish a little more effort was placed in the packaging/artwork.

I liked the album after listening to it this morning as well! I also think it would do well on many of the NPR and jazz stations of radio! Many of your college radio stations are often Jazz stations. I don't think it would hurt to maybe email their program directors to have them check it out

Well, this music is not at all my cup of tea so they won't be making any coin off me

It is a vanity project and I doubt they recoup the cost spent to record it. I wonder who footed the bill.

They certainly didn't pay a lot for the cover art

Check out what Andre Cymone posted on Facebook regarding Prince's Father and the album: https://m.facebook.com/an...0989250762

Thanks for sharing Latin. It looks like it is being well received.

It's on iTunes / Apple Music as well.

I thought it was kinda cool, especially with Prince in the background.

I want the limited edition vinyl. This is very good.

I bought my copy from Walmart online store

Currently streaming on Bandcamp as well.

I listen to a ton of jazz, and I really like this collection. Downloading it right now. Thanks, Sharon, for spearheading the release.

Check out another recent interview with Prince's sister, Sharon L. Nelson, produced by the Funkatopia Radio Show. "Prince‘s half sister John L. Nelson joins Mr. Christopher and Nicky T on the Funkatopia Radio Show to discuss the new release of their father’s album Don’t Play With Love. Join in as they discuss John’s influence on Prince‘s music, John’s music styling and writing process, the origin of the new album and so much more in this revealing trip down memory lane with the Nelson family." Here it is: http://funkatopia.com/fun...-l-nelson/

Thanks Latin! Interesting interview!

I don't like a single track on this project.

It's really good working music. Whether it's the tempo or what, but it's great for maintaining the speed of my typing!

" At night he would compose, and play his music on the piano. The kids would head to bed upstairs at 7:30, and they’d drift off to sleep listening to their father’s piano playing. "

More like they were sitting at the strip club watching him ....
