Never really managed to get a grip on Romanian jazz yet (no reissues available, just some stray stuff on blogs), but Raducanu is one of the names that got stuck in my mind, at least.

@SimonNZ: I was on vacation for a few days - hope you enjoyed those Dyani discs!

The "Afrika" one has such a stark cover already ... and music to match it, dark and brooding and extremely powerful!

Glad to hear you liked these!
