This is of course Pete LaRocas date. John Gilmore 😍

Me (black shirt) with @Niko at the Bimhuis where we saw Sylvie Courvoisier, Wadada Leo Smith and band. Great concert and I could confirm Nikos a really nice guy in real life as well 👍

Thanks @mjazzg really like that album too and looking forward to the concert.

Tomorrow night at the Bimhuis: SYLVIE COURVOISIER CHIMAERA ft. Nate Wooley , Wadada Leo Smith , Sylvie Courvoisier piano, Christian Fennesz, Drew Gress, Kenny Wollessen and Nasheet Waits

You could just send Matt an email. And about the format: each has his preference right? I loved the 3lp set. Not sure Nimbus is big enough a company to release everything on two different formats.

I don’t want to temper you’re joy but there are post companies that send a bill afterwards….

Yeah he was a very fine piano player. Very recognizable trough his own style that is really part of the whole sound of these records.

It’s one of the Quartets very best. I’ve got the LP as well plus the cd for the bonus material. Any thoughts to share yet?

With Billy Harper and Hannibal in one band

A posthumously released classic from the Nimbus West vaults.

No I haven’t. I did listen to some samples a few years ago and can only remember I found it too much money for what I heard.

Lovely sets. You’re in for a treat with those

a very well sounding reissue of this great spiritual jazz classic. With Joe Bonner, Cecil McBee and Norman Connors. What a rhythm section 😍

Those kids have great taste. I always wonder if my kids will have more open ears when they’re all grown up than others because they are hearing a lot of free and improvised music. I think that people are from birth really are a tabula rasa in that sense as both my boys never responded negatively to even the freest of all jazz. I still remember me playing Albert Ayler for my 2 year old the first time and he didn’t respond to it in any way, like it was some pleasant background music. My wife on the other hand still has difficulties with even the classic Coltrane quartet or Charlie Parker. It might have to something with how she grew up right? If your brains are used to a certain structure in music, you’re probably going to have trouble listen to more unstructured music. Anyway, you’re doing a great job bringing them up with the greatest jazz players of all time

That’s the recent reissue by Superior Viaduct right? It’s lovely and the musics even more than that

original mono

Got the PayPal notice as well. Great news. Very much looking forward to these cds. The new Sabir Mateen also sparks my interest. Did I understand well that the Nate Morgan is a solo record?

I don’t think so. The mono grooves are different from stereo grooves. Because the coils of a stereo element are not positioned in a horizontal direction, but at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the movement of the mono groove, a stereo element will not optimally reproduce a mono record. The needle tip of the stereo needle is also narrower than is optimal for the mono record. Id be the first to admit that audiophiles could be very silly but if it was really just about a button or a cable I don’t think the mono cartridge would still exist.

Thanks for replying guys. Replacing the shells of the cartridge sounds like the easiest solution but I am always a bit hesitant in modifying my player as I am very clumsy…..

Still wondering where that orchestra is though…. Did they remain quiet for the full concert? 😅 Last one for today. 1967 repress. Funky stuff
