Pim

Hope he gets well soon!

I myself prefer streaming over buying these boxes as music introductions. The boxes aren’t very nice to look at and take quite a lot of space.

Anyone checked his FB page recently? Mr Murray is offering saxophone lessons in the NYC region.!.! Going to see him in the Amsterdam Bimhuis with Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and Paal Nilssen Love. Sounds like a dream group to me. I prefer Murray over Mats Gustafson anyway.

Yup unfortanately that is the case. Got the Live in Bremen Lp for my birthday and was so happy with it until I found out I missed half the concert...

Makes me wonder what is wrong with Mosaics marketing machine. I mean, they are a bit in financial trouble arent they? It surprises me that we have to hear about the release through this forum. I couldnt even find it with Google or on their website under New releases... we’ll i am going for the vinyl version anyway.

They are pretty awful. I used to own the ‘Swing Time’ and Bebop Years boxes. 100 cd’s filled with great music, very bad sound quality, a little sessoipnagraphy (partly wrong and incomplete). It’s public domain stuff. Gave mine away. Typical Membran shit product

That is just awesome 👍 what a band ☺️

Indeed it is. Perhaps Waldron’s strongest period (1969-1973). Oh what am I saying, the 80’s were very fruitful as well. Mal is just one of my all time favorites

Did anyone see this show? What a group! http://www.bluenotejazz.com/newyork/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=17022

Yes it does! Thanks for the extra info. Can’t wait to hear Shaw’s version of Round Midnight

La Trappe is a very good Trappist beer! Cheers!

More Woody is on the way: Live in Basel. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/914046?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date

A Belgian Tripel!

Ordered this one immediately at our local record store. ‘Pure Pleasure Records’ is exactly that what their name states: a pure pleasure. Using the original master tapes for remastering, these sound absolutely stunning. As a matter of fact: I am replacing some of my German Bellaphon cd’s with these vinyl reissues as I really don’t like the sound of them ( Harpers Capra Black sounds dreadful). This label is making some rare Strata East records available again including their original artwork (front and back). A big plus for me is that they pay dues to the original owners of the material. Only thing that is wondering me is why they reissue this Tolliver session under Strata East. The original was issued on Polydor or Black Lion wasn’t it? I am still hoping that after Strata East, they are going to start with the India Navigition catalogue. Oh and Barbara Donald 👍 she caught my attention from the very first note on Simmons’s ESP stuff. A very good trumpeter with a great sense of timing, space and melody. A miracle she is so obscure.

Thanks Brad but I own both of these wonderful records on Muse cds.

Stitts Tune Up is among my desert island records. So incredibly good. Indeed a nice idea: a Sonny Stitt Muse Mosaic...

A very happy birthday To you mr Haynes. You are a true legend of all time! Now what should I play in your honor: - Lester Young’s Aladdin records? - Sonny Rollins Sound of Sonny? - Some Getz’ Roost Records? - Shepp’s Way Ahead? - Pharoah Sanders’ Thembi - Or perhaps Some Petrucciani? - Some We Three with Phineas - Some Bud Powell, Monk, Bird, Coltrane or perhaps Clifford Jordan’s in the World? My god, with who didn’t he play? Oh and by the way: his drumming skills on ‘After The Crescent’ of Coltrane’s Dear Old Stockholm.... so ridiculously good! And you must be damn good to fill in for Elvin Jones.

Ok. I never heard the American version and I am not really an audiophile. I’m satisfied 👍

Listening to the Hutcherson right now and I have to say: it sounds amazing. Very warm.

Both new on vinyl on the wonderful Pure Pleasure Records. Already had Capra Black as a German Bellaphon reissue which sounds quite bad. The sound of this vinyl version is way better. Also both vinyl

For me also the Kelly reissue. Blue Note Has got so much more interesting stuff to reissue.

Well as a Waldron completist I want this of course. The Lacy duets, Update and Our Collines a Treasure are essential Waldron. The duets with Friesen are very nice. The work with Freeman and Rava is not so good as you might expect and the works with the singers are truly not my taste. Still: enough interesting stuff especially for that price!

Does anyone own the 2008 unofficial release of the Pharoah LP? I wonder what the sound quality is like. Dont get me wrong, I never buy unofficial stuff but I really don’t see any other way to buy this music in a physical form.

That is some unique material thanks! I love the free jazz Ibrahim of the ‘60s, the more African oriented of the ‘70s and ‘80s but also the more melancholic Abdullah of the ‘90s and 00’s. With 31 records by him in my collection he’s an absolute favorite of me. Saw him last year in Belgium and it was indescribable. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
