  1. Depending on the sources, the sound varies widely from really bad, hardly acceptable, to what you would expect from radio recordings made around 1950. I wouls say it is only for the Bird completists. If you would like t o have it, I would offer a real bargain deal.
  2. Excellent brand new release.
  3. Me too.
  4. That's too good a typo to be corrected!
  5. Welcome aboard, Europeans in particular!
  6. This type of salsa was not my favourite, but I always respected his enormous contribution to the music. R.I.P.
  7. I must admit I like his second Muse album a lot for the mood it creates. Roy Ayers fits perefectly here.
  8. Thanks for linking this. It confirms what I think about why someone with a straightahead jazz attitude may not like or understand Brubeck.
  9. This is a pretty percussive affair: https://www.discogs.com/release/6157965-The-Jazz-Afro-Cuban-Beat-Guest-Star-Shelly-Manne-Hot-Skins/image/SW1hZ2U6MTQ4MDI4Mjg=
  10. Couldn't say it better. R.I.P.
  11. Congrats. Sounds good!
  12. I say it again, Pramsohler is the greatest. I will buy all of his CDs. Audax is his label, btw.
  13. I love this one! Carmelo Garcia and Carlos Vidal are great.
  14. I just remembered it: if you take a close look, Kenny is sitting on a large drum case.
  15. I remember a photo of Kenny Clarke sitting on a drum case behind his kit, probably because he forgot to bring a seat, but that was not an album cover.
  16. I once had an original Contemporary pressing of this LP, it sounded great.
