Agreed 100%. I’ve learned to like a lot of music by keep playing it. Sometimes you just never reach that point where it works out for you, but a lot of times you do. My shelves are full with music by artists I did not really appreciate at first. Among them are Horace Tapscott, Jackie McLean, Sam Rivers and Wayne Shorter. I wouldn’t want to live without them now!

I am shocked 😵‍💫

Great stuff. Gonna put that on my wishlist

It does @mjazzg and @HutchFan are mostly like minded in jazz with me and a pretty good reference in what I like and not so when they like something and I don’t I start doubting myself… now spinning : Intense stuff. One of his jewels on Milestone. Great sound by the way

It’s been a while I spun that record but remember that I was slightly disappointed and expected more from this line up. I had trouble with the vocals. Perhaps I should revisit it and give it another try.

Pass for mee too. Got it on vinyl and the cd with most of the extra tracks.

Both but especially Azazel

🥰😍❤️ But there aren't enough emoji's to describe what I feel playing that record. What a band and what a record

No idea to be honest. I like some of those: the Uri Caine, the Masada String Trio, the Erik Friedlander, the Bar Kokhba, the Mark Feldman and the Craig Taborn. For me Zorn is putting out way too many records. Its really quantity above quality. I really like some of his projects but it's pretty hard to find them as I don't feel listening to all of the stuff that he puts out.

Such a nice guy he is. One listen to Wonderwall says enough to me. We shouldn’t take the man too serious. But if he’s serious with that remark about four people that are all playing different things by themselves at the same time it seriously shows his lack of musical knowledge and hearing. Poor fellow.

such a powerful live date this is. Clifford Jordan at his best. Speaking about Clifford Jordan: I’ve ordered the new P-Vine/Groove Diggers release of In The World in December 2022. It was supposed to be released in march but got postponed to September. It’s almost October now and still no sign of it. Anyone else here with that in pre order?

Yeah both are very nice but the Middelheim stands out in sound quality. Makes you wonder how good the rest of the concert is….

Curious to how the original pressing sounded. The reissue really surprises me in sound quality. I know, and the booklet also clearly state, that recording conditions were far from optimal but I think it really sounds good, especially Pharoahs tenor where you could actually hear him breathe and his fingers going over the horn. It’s really miles better than the bootleg I had

Arrived today. I’d say if you like this album and only own the bootleg version like I died you’d really want to get it. Also if you like some of the extras. This boxed set is really beautifully done by Luaka Bop. Wow! sound is much better than the bootleg but recording conditions weren’t ideal of course. Glad I was able to sell that one and buy this one. I love this approach to the music and I’m pretty sure the cd will be equally as great.

Pure magic

It will probably be raining questions if the box is all analogue from the tapes and when it’s not the folks decide to skip these sessions completely. What I’ve noticed there is that for quite a lot it’s more for sound than for the music itself they listen to jazz. Now I am no expert on these kind of things but these tapes are probably gone or unusable aren’t they?

Yeah it happens before you know it even if you take good care. Maybe I’ll put rubber mats on my floor 😜

this is the first LP till today that I dropped on the floor. I still remember how it slipped from my hands and as a I tried to catch it I pushed it against the wall which made even more scratches. Side B was destroyed. I love this music so much that I decided to replace it with a clean copy. Great stuff. On the Nile 🥰
