That's the Montreux group right? On Freedom records? Those are among my favorite Shepp records. I was so fortunate to see him at the Bimhuis in 2010. Though not really comparable to his 60's and 70's work it was an unforgettable experience.

Hope all the best for him. A huge fan! Shepp got me into the free stuff

This German cd pressing must be the worst cd sounding I have. Is it the pressing or the recording? The distortian is almost unbearable at times. It's insanely good though. Cecil Bridgewater, Enrico Rava, Charles Sullivan, Sonny Fortune, Carlos Ward, Roland Alexander, John Stubblefield, Hamiet Bluiett, Cecil McBee and the great Roy Brooks....

Definitely. Same goes for The Call, Spanish Bitch and Number Nineteen.

This is the only Byas in my collection but I frequently revisit it: https://www.discogs.com/release/4790053-Don-Byas-Ambiances-Et-Slows A compliation on Barclay from his years in France.

My favorite Ella. What a voice she had 🥰

That’s a tough one. If I’d really really had to make a decision I’d say Number Nineteen is my favorite studio trio date and Black Glory my favorite live trio date. And if I really had to choose beteeen them I’d probably go for Black Glory. But would still want to mention Blood and Guts as a serious runner up live record and Free at Last, Tokyo Bound and First Encounter as essential trio studio records. But now I am cheating

Yeah me too.

Oh my 🥰

Erik Friedlander plays Masada book 2: Book of Angels Vol. 8 Volac Beautiful solo cello record from Erik Friedlander. A Book of Angels favorite.

Oh yes lots of interesting stuff in that catalogue! And very well recorded.

The upcoming reissue made me spin this again. I still agree with every praising word I gave to it. I am curious how the reissue will sound. Guess it will not be from the master tapes? The original sounds incredible as all those Japanese Victors from the ‘70’s do.

Wow guys this is great news. If there’s one record that deserves a good reissue it’s this one! It’s my favorite Mal record which says something I think. For those not convinced I hope to convince with my blog review: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/01/1972-mal-waldronterumasa-hino.html its really really good. I have the original Japanese LP and almost never buy a second version but I am seriously considering this as it means a lot to me. Also glad for the cd collectors this finally comes out on that format.

Excellent record for listening while storm Ciaran passes by here. I’ve got fond memories of this record as it was the only Coleman Hawkins record my dad had but he spinned it a lot, loud and especially on dark rainy autumn afternoons. I later picked it up as one of my first vinyl records for 5 euros.

Wow, the mentality of some people...

Yeah the old Bimhuis was also a building like that, though according to my parents the atmosphere was fantastic and very intimate: I like the new one which of course is very modern but it fits pretty good in the 'IJ' skyline: I'd buy any of these in a heartbeat. Looking foward to any upcoming releases!

Glad to hear! Enjoy

Sun Ra in Paradiso We are particularly proud of the album that we will launch on November 23: the first album in the new Jazz in Paradiso series. In this record series we document important jazz concerts that saxophonist and tireless jazz promoter Hans Dulfer organized in the 'Cosmic Relaxation Center' Paradiso from 1968 onwards. At these progressive happenings, an entire generation of concertgoers were introduced to jazz for the first time, never to be let go of it again. It is now high time to listen to the sounds of the past with fresh ears, also for younger generations. Space is the place! That body piece - in a historically early version without lyrics - opens the album Paradiso Amsterdam 1970, on which you can hear how the Netherlands first became acquainted with Afrofuturism. A pivotal moment in the Dutch jazz experience. It was always thought that the recordings of the long-awaited very first concert that Sun Ra Arkestra ever gave in the Netherlands could not be used for an album release. After all, the entire Arkestra marched through the massive crowd in Paradiso on November 18, 1970. According to tradition, they barely stood on the stage where the microphones were neatly arranged. However, the Dutch Jazz Archive traced the complete series of NOS recording tapes and put together a full-fledged album on which the atmosphere of 53 years ago is immediately palpable and that sounds like clockwork. We are releasing the album on vinyl and CD, with many photos by Paul van Riel, documents and extensive liner notes by Saturnite Rudie Kagie. The publication is a collaboration with Sun Ra LLC, the organization that represents Sun Ra's rights worldwide. The album will be launched in the basement hall of Paradiso on Thursday, November 23. Starts at 6:30 PM. The LP version and CD version of the album can already be ordered from us. NJA-Jazz Friends receive a discount. made the translation in Google Translate guys so sorry for any mistakes.

Oh yes for me as well. Beautiful stuff

I think you will not be disappointed. It really sounds amazing and it’s well balanced. Enjoy!

Got mine at: JPC.de and I think SoundOhm will get it as well. I’d say this will probably end up at Honest John as well won’t it?
