He seemed to be a nice guy. 54 is way too young.

okay Glass Bead Games might be a slightest bit better but I have a huge soft spot for this excellent release. Clifford Jordan with dream bands. I love it. Have to say that all EU and American pressing plants could learn a lot from this Japanese manufacturer. Vinyl is cleaner than clean and flatter than flat. Even the Tone Poets and Acoustic Sounds records come with dust and dirt these days but on this one: not a slightest spot. okay Glass Bead Games might be a slightest bit better but I have a huge soft spot for this excellent release.

In my opinion very good but I am no expert in that field. I’ve got all of their albums and this is a favorite. It’s on Spotify and I am curious how you feel about it.

Cracow Klezmer Band - Remembrance (Tzadik, 2007)

Hope has fascinated me from the first time I heard him play on Informal Jazz, which I now think of as his least interesting record . This solo outing is amazing really highlighting every aspect of his playing: he does some bop, a little stride, a hint of classical music here and there. A lovely 40 minute journey Elmo deserves a Mosaic!

I love that record. Great band!

You might be right yes the America is a little more out in some kind of ways. I don’t know if it’s the recording, the pressing or both but most Japanese Victors from this decade sound amazing.

From what I know Mosaic doesn’t do vinyl anymore nor has plan to do it in the future.

Thanks guys you’ve all been of great help again I’ll add these to my wantlist! Needles to say that Bird deserves a nice LP reissue. I’d love to have a Mosaic vinyl set of his Savoy and Dial master takes 🤗 never gonna happen but still

Is there a good vinyl compilation of Birds Dials sessions? Preferably master takes only. I am aware of the Japanese On Dial records but those sometimes have 5 takes of the same song. There is a complete master takes of the Savoy stuff. Is there something similar of his Dial sessions?

this must be Mals most free outing on record. It’s excellent

Yeah I like the two trio a;lbums: Gently Disturbed and From Darkness. Also the live date at the Half Note club and Continuo. He has lost me with his last albums where he also sings.

a Wayne favorite Woody favorite a Mal favorite

All to be found on the Discogs entry: https://www.discogs.com/release/28263040-Pharoah-Sanders-Pharoah

Yeah Live Evil and Bitches Brew were also from the artists hands I know thanks to Mjzee's post

The day started with some sunshine finally but it’s raining again now here. Time to give this box a spin

Thanks!

Oh yes this is such a great record. Very happy with the TP reissue. I have always loved the cover art. Showed it to my art teaching colleague that doesn’t know a lot about jazz: he said damn that’s a nice cover!

Allright thanks guys both of those series are helpful. I will pick up some of hose separate releases. Have to check out what’s the best way to obtain most tracks. Japanese LPs are definitely attractive to buy. As a matter of fact: Japanese sellers are almost the only ones that sell vinyl on Discogs for reasonable prices. Maybe because the vinyl hype isn’t that big over there. And for me Japanese vinyl is like Japanese cars: high in quality and very reliable.

Is there a LP or LP set compiling Birds small group stuff on Verve excluding the bigband/latin/strings stuff. I already have the complete master takes on cd but would like to have the small group stuff on vinyl as well. His discography is so overcrowded with all sorts of compilations I haven’t managed to find what I am looking for. Maybe you guys could help me or maybe I am looking for something that does not exist.
