Yeah. Is it really allowed to accuse someone of being a pedophile based on something some old lady said? Without the accused one around to say something in defense? And this all in a Tony Fruscella thread? Or am I understanding it all wrong trough the language barrier?

Yeah I like him too, which probably doesn’t surprise pity he hasn’t record any more records.

Classic ‘60’s freejazz. Great reissue by BoWeavil

I don't think theres a thread on these yet? I own around ten now and must say I am very satisfied with sound and packaging. New schedule for this year was pronounced this january: March 31 1971 Impulse - Alice Coltrane / Journey In Satchidananda April 28 1965 Verve - Wynton Kelly Trio and Wes Montgomery / Smokin' At The Half Note May 26 1966 Philips - Nina Simone / Wild Is The Wind June 23 1962 Verve - Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd / Jazz Samba July 28. (BG cut classic records) 1958 Verve - Billie Holiday / Songs For Distingue Lovers Aug 25 1960 Mercury - Cannonball Adderley Quintet / In Chicago Sept 29 1961 Mercury - Charles Mingus / Pre-Bird Oct 27 (BG cut classic records) 1960 Verve - Ella Fitzgerald / Let No Man Write My Epitaph Nov 17 1962 Verve - Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson / Very Tall Dec 8. (BG cut classic records) 1959 Verve - Coleman Hawkins / Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster Jan 2024 1962 Impulse - Roy Haynes / Out Of The Afternoon Feb 2024 (announced by Chad) mono 1958 Verve - Ben Webster / Soulville Now Chad Kassem isn't really known for being an adventourus guy.... I even heard someone say he isn't really into jazz. When he announced the Karma reissue he couldn't even hide his own dislike of it which I think is ridiculous. Thank God the guy was prepared to do one more 'free' record but only if Karma sold well. And of course it did.... So happy to see the Alice Coltrane in the list. I'll get the Billie Holiday record and I love that Ella Fitzgerald record. Really would like to hear those intimate duets in best possible sound quality so I'll jump on that one too. Part from that: a pretty boring list with a lot of usual suspects that I already own. The upside of the series is it's overall quality: I am very happy with the issues I own. The downside is their uninspired program and the fact that they don't a lot of reissues and even then every one of them get's postponed endlessly.... They can't make a single deadline.

great idea!

Yeah I could see why they are of no interest to the more experienced collector. But as a young fellow who started collecting vinyl about 7 years ago (there is probably no less profitable thing I know…) I am very happy with these reissue series as even the more usual suspects are still pretty hard to get these days. As a matter of fact both Workin’ and Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane were on my wishlist. but I am all there with you hoping on some more obscure titles as well!

Harold Land and Hutch 🥰

It’s a lovely session. I have a Japanese vinyl reissue with different cover art

Nice one! That's a great record. Essential Cannonball Now you're at least sure you have a copy

Great stuff with a young Geri Allen at the piano. How I pity the fact that I never had the chance to see her play live.

Thanks! Is now see I posted in the wrong thread…

school holidays. I am always the one getting up with my sons so every morning it’s jazz time. No vinyl player downstairs. This mornings playlist!

I feel very lucky it’s the Japanese reissue but the sound is amazing

for around 10 euros you get these excellent Impulse! compilation albums that contain music that was later released on new cd issues like Newport ‘63 and Dear Old Stockholm. Elvin was of course THE quartet drummer but Roy Haynes is a great fit too. After The Crescent: hear that interplay 🥰

Oh yes 👏

Exactly that Jim. Almost a scientific kind of approach to sound. Not a lot of feeling involved

90 euros shipped within Europe.

I like tripping like this

I love that Adderley date!

Haha yeah the whole thing with Picture of Heath made me laugh out very loudly. People seriously defending Blue Note telling hundreds of people their setup is wrong and they should adjust it for this very record…. Mine skipped too and I sent it back immediately. No way I am paying 50 euros for a record like that. No need for a replacement too. I will get the Art Pepper Mosaic box instead. There are some very nice folks on the Hoffman Board. The audiophiles are not among them. They are of course listening music for other purposes than the music itself. That’s why they only listen to music that’s produced in new reissue lines. And then they mostly stick to Blue Note records indeed. It’s sad and they don’t know what they’re missing. They compulsively buy every Tone Poet and say about even very average records that they are like the best they ever heard. I can’t believe people really listen to music that way.

Damn this record swings hard!

Oh yup. I just spent a 2 month vinyl budget on those four records

It is except the Bartz

oh man this one remains such a great record.
