I particularly like some of Kenny Kirkland's piano on this one.

Kaitlin Butts: Roadrunner!

Anybody in the Los Angeles area looking for the big 21-LP box set? Record Surplus has it for sale. Booklet and OBI, it's a Japanese import Chris wanted to sell if $50

No idea what the science is, but I have corrected innumerable glitchy CDr s (and regular CDs) simply by ripping them on my PC. Not always, but mostly Where you hit a wall is if there's any irregularity, even a pinhole, in the reflective surface on the top of the disc. That's game over. Aftermarket self-applied labels are especially insidious that way. Avoid at all costs!

Grooves harder than the Mizell-produced studio albums.

Dark.

A warm day–55 degrees right now! I was outside doing a few chores, and Lucinda had a PT appointment we went to. Finally I get to sit down in front of the system for a bit. I dug this 2 cd set out this week to listen to, it’s been a while. A killer band. . . I sort of think the two synth players are a bit unnecessary, but if Stan wanted them why not. Supposedly the last recorded concert for Stan. Stan Getz “The Final Concert Recording” Eagle cd disc 1

Sasha Berliner & co.

I like both Byrds

Now: Earlier: Both with the long-standing trio of Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell

Not at all to my taste. I will gladly stick with Byrd's albums I like such as: "The Cat Walk" and "Byrd In Flight", to name just 2 from the many he made in the '50's and '60's.

If you would like to watch a GOOD horror movie (hard to find) ... watch this one ! It's flawless, well-constructed, no nonsense, and most important: SCARY

Ts-find, after a first listen i would say it's underrated ...

Thanks, i definitely beginning to appreciate Bernstein's Mahler more. That's being said i understand by now this is a classic Mahler cycle because of it's high ratings from other listeners. Mmm ... it will take time for me to absorbe the 'whole cycle' and draw my own conclusion.

The problem with ripping or duplicating a CD-R with a label unbalancing it is that most duplication processes do it at speeds >>1X, which exacerbates the problem.

Thanks for this writeup; it puts the album in a little more context. Maybe someday we'll get to hear it!

I merged @jimmyjrg 's topic with this one to get all of the interested parties in one place.

https://www.theideasletter.org/essay/a-pure-act-in-a-dirty-world/ I think this is a great interview and really stands out... enjoy! And IIRC there isn't a Matthew Shipp corner; maybe I'm a bit biased to start one, but someone should.
