Pim

With Billy Harper and Hannibal in one band

A posthumously released classic from the Nimbus West vaults.

No I haven’t. I did listen to some samples a few years ago and can only remember I found it too much money for what I heard.

Lovely sets. You’re in for a treat with those

a very well sounding reissue of this great spiritual jazz classic. With Joe Bonner, Cecil McBee and Norman Connors. What a rhythm section 😍

Those kids have great taste. I always wonder if my kids will have more open ears when they’re all grown up than others because they are hearing a lot of free and improvised music. I think that people are from birth really are a tabula rasa in that sense as both my boys never responded negatively to even the freest of all jazz. I still remember me playing Albert Ayler for my 2 year old the first time and he didn’t respond to it in any way, like it was some pleasant background music. My wife on the other hand still has difficulties with even the classic Coltrane quartet or Charlie Parker. It might have to something with how she grew up right? If your brains are used to a certain structure in music, you’re probably going to have trouble listen to more unstructured music. Anyway, you’re doing a great job bringing them up with the greatest jazz players of all time

That’s the recent reissue by Superior Viaduct right? It’s lovely and the musics even more than that

original mono

Got the PayPal notice as well. Great news. Very much looking forward to these cds. The new Sabir Mateen also sparks my interest. Did I understand well that the Nate Morgan is a solo record?

I don’t think so. The mono grooves are different from stereo grooves. Because the coils of a stereo element are not positioned in a horizontal direction, but at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the movement of the mono groove, a stereo element will not optimally reproduce a mono record. The needle tip of the stereo needle is also narrower than is optimal for the mono record. Id be the first to admit that audiophiles could be very silly but if it was really just about a button or a cable I don’t think the mono cartridge would still exist.

Thanks for replying guys. Replacing the shells of the cartridge sounds like the easiest solution but I am always a bit hesitant in modifying my player as I am very clumsy…..

Still wondering where that orchestra is though…. Did they remain quiet for the full concert? 😅 Last one for today. 1967 repress. Funky stuff

The Superior Viaduct reissue

Defenitly. I love Dierdre Murrays cello as well. Its a great record.

I was wondering if any of you guys use a special mono cartridge for your mono records? Is it worth while saving up money and invest in one or are the differences bearably noticable? And if you have one, do you have an extra record player for it?

Not ultra rare but definitely not the most easy to find. It’s this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/3728794-Prince-Lasha-Sonny-Simmons-Firebirds

It’s a ‘70’s repress that sounds amazing

It’s mostly the other way around. I’m hoping to find a certain record but I’m not finding it. Worst experience was Berlin where I visited 10 record stores with a 60 item wishlist and didn’t find a single one of them…. Well I found one which after all appeared to be a bootleg version. my last visit to de mega lp cd fair in Den Bosch was more successful. With a more humble wishlist of 30 items I managed to find 9 of the items on it.

With Byard Lancaster, Dave Burrell. It’s a lovely record. Burrells piano is very much out of tune but with these kind of records it has its charm I must say.

Ah I probably leave it on than. The sight of it annoys me a little bit…. yeah mine has the same sleeve but different labels. There were indeed two versions on Calumet. The Japanese pressing was first according to Discogs. That one seems to be even rarer. It was hard enough to track down this French first pressing.
