these sessions are so powerful, with so much sincere depth. Anyone knows what happened with the Survival Records/Ali project? I expected more records to come.
I agree that in most cases ‘common sense’ doesn’t work. After all: what’s common sense? And I also agree there will be people buying it for the trendy thing. But 50%? Half of all the buyer? 1 out of 2? This is a case where I like to believe my common sense is probably right and this article is wrong.
I know how statistics and surveys work but I think it’s pretty obvious that with common sense alone you could feel that this ‘fact’ isn’t really a reliable one.
Okay different strokes for different or what’s that saying?
anyway this is the one that is getting reissued:
https://www.discogs.com/master/292892-Chet-Baker-Sings-And-Plays-With-Bud-Shank-Russ-Freeman-And-Strings
Nah and no Hutch as well. They said Spiral, Medina and Total Eclipse were selected….. I still miss my favorite Morgan’s as well in both series: Tom Cat, The Gigolo, The Procastrinator and the Last Album.
New list is out there:

Will definitely get:
Andrew Hill - Dance with Death
Freddie Hubbard - Blue Spirits
Sonny Clark Trio
Jackie McLean - Demon's Dance
I might get:
The Tyners, the Mobley and the Carmell Jones
I really don't understand why they selected this record by Chet Baker. I love this period by Chet but this ain't a very interesting date. Plus there was more interesting music released on that Pacific Jazz label, by Chet himself and also by others. I wish they did Bud Shanks On Tenor....
original pressing in mint condition…. Haha not of course. Lovely playing by Shihab but Palle Mikkelborg also really shines on this one. Remains a very interesting document from the Danish jazz scene.
