In my never ending search for new jazz I hit P-Vine’s ‘Black Ark Series’ on Discogs. https://www.discogs.com/label/593414-Black-Ark-Series I am a big fan of the 70s spiritual jazz movement, the labels like Strata East, India Navigation and Muse. To my own shame I must admit that, with a few exceptions, I don’t know any of the artists on the Black Ark Series. Anyone here does? Any recommendations? It seems like the stuff for me

David Murray with Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Paal Nilssen Love at the Bimhuis coming this thursday.

Mr. Benny Golson at the Bimhuis. It was just great. 90 yo and the guy s still going strong. Between the songs he told numerous funny anecdotes bout his time with Coltrane, Dizzy, Blakey and Morgan. A beautiful person!

Wow thats awesome stuff. That first release looks like something I am going to want to have

Yes according to jazzdisco.org there is quite a lot of unissued studio material too. Unfortunately people do not feel the moral obligation to share this music with the world. Unfortunate cause who benefits if it’s on some dusty shelf somewhere. I do not believe that was Trane’s intention anyway. Enjoy! It’s a killer! (Both sessions are, but the 65 is from outer space)

Without a doubt. I misinterpreted the word ‘rectify’. I thought BFrank said he did not have the Newport ‘63 record but did have the My Favorite Things at Newport release.... English is not my first language 😵

Newport 63 is on this release.

A vinyl reissue is on its way! https://www.dustygroove.com/item/918918?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date

Yeah there are no sources that claim this is a bootleg nor are there sources that claim it is legit. The blog you are referring to: the blog writer is claiming the release is remastered from the original master tapes... It is probably legit because: 1 the sound quality is quite good and sounds professional 2 it was probably remastered from the original tapes it is probably a boot because: 1 the cover is a very weird choice.... 2 the rather vague record label. anyway the music is unbelievably great.

Anyone checked out this recent release? https://www.soundohm.com/product/universal-silence-2lp/pid/34658/ https://www.discogs.com/Don-Cherry-Carlos-Ward-Dollar-Brand-Universal-Silence/release/13545963 only 300 copies available unfortunately. And misplaced artwork as no one (except Don of course) is on this record. But this group is killing. Third World Underground is a stunning record!

Thanks for the advice Scott! Haven’t tried that yet and will try when I have got some time for it

Thanks Scott, maybe I explained it the wrong way. I have not checked the ITunes library on my pc yet. What I meant was the library on my IPhone. This contained the music from my ITunes library (with all the correct data). Apple Music changed all this data in my ‘Music’ app on my phone. From every artist there is something of course, yet I can’t find a lot of specific stuff by for example: Billy Harper, Hamiet Bluiett, Mal Waldron, Hannibal and so on.

Ha that does not surprise me!

Bought my copy on vinyl. Hanging in my music room now... such a beautiful cover!

Thanks I can read! My comment was a general comment on the ridiculous price of the reissue (and with that, the rarity of this record on cd).

I am not a big fan of streaming music. Collecting music is my hobby and I want something physical to hold. I want to read the liner notes, watch some photographs. I am probably old fashioned or light hearted.... But streaming is nice for exploring music and it helps to make decisions what to buy and what not to. So I recently started an Apple Music trial. Now, part from a small disappointment about the quantity available, something else really pisses me of. From about 2005 I am keeping all the info and data in my iTunes up to date and correct. That includes the right artwork. With more than 10000 songs it has been a hell of a job. Since my Apple Music trial started everything changed automatically and not in a good way. I think 2/3 of my music has the wrong artwork now, sometimes even by a completely different artist and album. This really sucks... Anyone else with this problem or am I the only compulsive disordered person here?

That is correct. You can get it for only 162 euros on Discogs!

Its on Dusty Groove also: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/917260?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date I am curious what the price of the triple LP set will be. Around 70 dollars? Just a wild guess. Anyway, this looks very interesting!

Unfortunate they didnt change the packaging. Two of my discs (including Taylor’s One Too Many Salty) are damaged. What mostly happens with this kind of packaging is that some dust or something harder gets stuck inside the cardboard. Then, when shoving your cd in, a large scratch is made and you’re cd is unplayable. Despite checking the same happened to one of my ECM touchstones (same kind of packing. The Japanese mini LP’s got a nice jacket for the cd to prevent from such things to happen.

Thanks!

Loving that cover btw!

Thanks for the heads up. Ibrahim is one of my all time favorites. I own about 42 records by him but can’t get enough Ibrahim. Saw him last year, 83 years old, solo piano in Belgium. I was a short but breathtaking concert. Just Ibrahim and the piano, not even an amplifier or anything. One of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. Lovely and humble guy. any info on personel yet? Or is it another solo record like the last ones? Those (Mukashi, Senzo) are so beautiful and melancholic.

Got the Morgan, one of my all time favorite albums! thanks for the advice!

Yes I’m gonna be a Harper completist just like you I think! Way easier anyway than my other goal: being a Waldron completist. Fortunately Harpers discography is a bit smaller. Saves me some bucks haha! I already own: - Capra Black - Somalia - Destiny is Yours (killer album) - In Europe - Black Saint - Soran Bushi what should be my next step? Still hoping Mr. Harper will visit the Netherlands or Belgium with The Cookers some day. That’s an asskickin group

Yes that is it with Billy to me: feeling. It’s like he is talking directly to my soul, and I am not even a spiritual person. He’s just stunning. Added to my wantlist
