CIAO 2day, while I was strollin around my VIGATA town, I passed by a small wreccastore, and guess what I spot in the window?
"MINNEAPOLIS WE INSIST", the cd, and being a funk man persecuted by funk (la malattia è brutta-so brutti tipi di malattie)
I entered the shop to investigate.
To my big surprise, it is a
MICHEL PORTAN new CD where michael bland and sonny T. are featured. One song also features Vernor Reid (ex living colour)
The cd is recorded live distributed by universal, and features sessions from paris, lione and more from 2002, total playin 78 min.
1 of the highlight is The booklet that is truly fab, belive me, one of the best artowrks ever!
A great jazz cd ! ACCATTATIVILLO! ---buy it---

peace -bottipinna!
Totò

Great for you, but it's Michel PorTAL and it's old news. Jeez, Ben (or whoever), is someone finding a record that's been out for over a year "news"?

Hi les amis(e)s,

Speaking about news and Michel Portal, I can tell you that “Dipping In Minneapolis” (EmArcy/Universal), a new superb 3 cd-box set (with great pictures taken by Guy Le Querrec from the famous Magnum agency) has just been released in Europe : it contains “Minneapolis” (the excellent studio album), “Minneapolis We Insist !” (the amazing live album, I can tell that Michael Bland is so proud of his drumming in this cd) and “Minneapolis Tour Guide”, an exciting cd of outtakes and unreleased live tunes featuring Portal, of course, plus his royal court of ex-Prince's funk masters – Mister T and Mister B –, guitar virtuosos Vernon “Living Colour” Reid and Jef Lee Johnson (aka “The Poet”), and master keyboardist Tony Hymas. YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS OUT, NOW ! IT'S A MUST HAVE FOR ALL PRINCE'S FANS (Try www.fnac.com or www.amazon.fr)

Your Ol' Seraphin,
With love.

bravo, bravo!

But Toto, a news submitter is a like a reporter. One must issue an Erratum for such mistakes. I saved you the trouble of issuing one.
