Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.

Fangool - Jot Sa Bop: notation
I have not heard this album in its entirety. I did spend a fair bit of time searching for it, to no avail, and want to memorialize that, and note that I would snatch up a digital file or reasonably-priced physical if I ever come across either. My interest springs from the track "Nianing" (appears on the compilation Escale au Senegal as "Naning"), which is stunning. The other track from this album that I have heard is "Mariama," which appears on the compilation Senegal 70 and is not quite as good, but it does tend to indicate that this album would be well-worth hearing.
