I'm glad to have this discussion of Nordine. I put his website
below which has some audio streams available.

Not much on ordering product. "Colors" is available at Amazon.

half com has this:

Yikes, "Best Of" is $40. Email me on this. I own it already.

[looking something else up] Nope, I thought I had a mail address
for Ken from when I wrote to him a while back... surprised I
can't find it.

and also surprised that more of this is not marketed at the
Word Jazz site.

FYI: Best of is a compilation of "Word Jazz" (a somewhat new mdedium)
and "Son Of Word Jazz" (like word jazz, like son).

Here's the collectible information:
