I remember Snidero from some play along cds for alto saxophone. Very clean player, too clean for me to be honest. But I never heard a real recording by him.

@mjazzg I am pretty sure I’ve had the last ones thanks @HutchFan I almost never order anything in Europe anymore for the insane prices that were always on eBay and are now at Discogs as well. So I make a big order twice a year in Japan and save up money for those every month. I calculated and this order cost me 20 euros a piece including shipping etc. That’s very acceptable. For example: the Sonny Rollins (VG+/VG+) cost 3 dollars…. Most of the Tyners: 5 dollars… Now hoping it will arrive in one piece of course. Fingers crossed! I always feel truly happy when they actually are delivered at my door.

It was time for my half year vinyl from Japan order. Don't buy much more music than that trough the year part from some new reissues.

my last Third Man pressing. Paper scuffs , distortion on the trumpet and harmonium. Cheap and thin cardboard sleeve. I’ve been warned but fell for it anyway. And they dare to ask a Tone Poet price for it: 43 euros. Will probably return this and pay a little more for an other pressing.

So warped and scuffed vinyl and cds that don’t play? I can’t believe they screw up such an important release. What’s the trouble investing in a little quality control (and a better pressing plant). my second vinyl and replacement vinyl arrived today. Again disc one is warped but less than the previous one. I guess I call it acceptable. Don’t feel for returning another one. What a waste of money and product.

Spinning this one again today and have to say: they did absolutely right releasing this stuff. It's an incredible live session and I love the compositions played. That version of Africa with Dolphy is just wow!

10 euro’s at amazon…. Now that’s almost what RVG cds used to cost. So it is possible….

Bresna I grant you the best e-bike avaible. I think for older people and of course people who live in a mountainous region it’s the perfect solution. And part from that it’s (part from the lithium battery) of course more environment friendly than a car. But here in the Netherlands, where almost everyone owned a bicycle the e-bikes are really taking over. There’s not a single hill to be found here and I see more and more young (overweighted) people cycle on them. Their legs hardly rotate…. I thinks it’s typical for these times: even being too lazy to pedal a bicycle which is the prime feauture of a bicycle: pedaling. And when such a fatty passes me by with that typical self-satisfied smile, they annoy me.

John Zorn - The Rain Horse Joe Bonner - Impressions of Copenhagen. A big hurray for Pure Pleasure for reissuing more obscure stuff like this. One of my favorite piano works and definitely my favorite Bonner.

As always I should have been patient…. Paid way to much for a Japanese reissue. Must say it sounds so damn good I am definitely not going to replace it with this new one.

Yeah I could see why. In these cases the cd is probably the best option. All of these returns must be a pricey thing but apparently still profitable?

Oh boy so quality issues starting to happen to the cd issues as well 🤨

Yeah well it differs so much per label/company. I'd say that Sam, Pure Pleasure and Acoustic Sounds mostly bring out top quality.

Wow! What a great release this is. Amazing to to hear these tunes live with Dolphy. Dolphy’s flute is a bit far in the mix but part from that sound is pretty good. The vinyl on the other hand…. Man they should be ashamed of themselves asking 40 euros for this. Both records warped, paper scuffed because of the paper sleeves and a very thin sleeve that comes already with ringwear when it’s fresh from the factory. They sell them anyway of course….

Oh yes that’s such a great record

56 years ago Coltrane died. I decided to make my little music room as a place of honor to the grandmaster this week

Yeah Sam records did a great job 👏

this mornings selections starting with this great music, than do a CrossFit workout to come home and find out the wife and kids are off to my parents in law. I love my wife and kids but I also love a good afternoon alone with some more music and some reading!

These ECM originals sound great. If I’d had one I wouldn’t buy this one but I only had a cd issue. It sounds like an original

ECM got their own ‘audiophile’ series out now as well. Sounds great and this a favorite of mine from the label (there’s some stuff on ECM I really like and also quite a lot I don’t like). The prices of these are fairer than those of the Tone Poets and the Acoustic Sounds. Funny as a few years back the Blue Note and Verve cds were the cheap ones and the ECM’s were expensive.

A Blue Note favorite. Was really looking forward to this Tone Poet. Sounds excellent!

There’s really no reason to buy this for me part from the insane price. All of this music I already have or is not of my interest. The recent AS issue of Karma is excellent.
