Current TRC Release

Hal-Mel
Alone Together

This newly remastered, first-ever reissue revisits an informal duo project that was close to Harold Battiste’s heart. In 1970, the legendary New Orleans producer, arranger, composer and musician hit the studio with his A.F.O. Records co-founder Melvin Lastie not as business partners making an album but as old friends and like-minded musicians whose artistic ideas had long been in-sync. The pair played all the parts during the sessions, using their rare time “alone together” in the studio as a refuge from the industry-side of the music they loved.
