Well if you have enough time… there’s always this: or this:

Amazing stuff. Would make such a lovely deluxe box set.

Have you tried the Hoffman board? More chance you’ll get your answer there

Haha that sounds like steal to me

Like it a lot. Sounds warm and lifelike, easy to use and nice design. Very satisfied. Are you considering buying one yourself? I know @Rabshakehhas the P3 which an upgrade to the P2 but of course also more expensive.

Those are some valuable two cents. My thoughts exactly. This thread is a years long Oscar Peterson diss thread with the same accusations over and over again. I have a love/hate relationship with OP. I love a lot of the Verve and MPS trio stuff. The records with Ray Brown, Sam Jones, Bobby Durham and Ed Thigpen. I do not like his presence on the works of Getz, Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins nor do I like the Pablo records. I could very well understand why people don’t like his style. As a personality, musician and for his legacy he deserves the respect a true jazz musician deserves.

Is that an orignal pressing? Those are pretty rare. I never got into Doyle btw.

Oh Jackie 😍

I've got the Waldron. Nothing special, he made much better records in those years.

Hurray after two trashed sleeves finally a good copy. Now I am not as sensitive as some listeners but: I could definitely hear this is a huge improvement from the 75th anniversary version. Glad I managed to sell that one

Never heard of him either. You might want to try and contact the drummer of the album? I found a mail address on his partly defunct website: David.barry079@btinternet.com http://www.davebarry.co.uk

was long waiting for a decent reissue. Very happy with this one

Not the most popular Pharoah record I believe but it’s a favorite of mine.

That’s an amazing record

Haha the language barrier! Love that. Sometimes it’s hard for us non-native Englishmen to understand what people are talking about 😉 Now if @HutchFan actually wrote a book about his favorite albums I’d buy it in a heartbeat. For now his blogs will do

It’s really a shame that Chad leaves the full Impulse! catalogue untouched for the fact that he’s not into the more adventurous kind of jazz. The new list struck me with absolute boredom.

Yeah that definitely works out great. I thought he was his younger. Never liked his playing. Sounds like a Eric Dolphy copycat to me. Anyway, what I like about the extra stuff on Africa/Brass is that every extra song and take is so much worth it. It should have been released all in once, at least with The Damned Don’t Cry and The Song of the Underground Railroad.

For me they have always belonged to my favorite Coltrane records. But there’s a lot of records by Trane that I count among my favorites. I fell in love with both of these the first time that I heard them. I remember the title song of Ole made a huge and lasting impression on me with that eastern influenced modal feel.

I never thought about the common name. Thanks for making me aware of it

The Mal is a definite buy for me. The Cannonballs maybe. That was a great period with great bands. The 1972 contains some of the Black Messiah material without the annoying singer/guitar player. Definitely interested. Also in doubt about the Art Tatum box. Like Chuck also mentioned: I do have a lot Tatum and not sure these will anything really new. Sampling first.
