More stuff from Jazzline. They did some terrific work with the Onkel Po's series.
Not sure I am gonna get me a copy of this. I always found the trio with Sharpe and Hayes very boring. Maybe the Hub could convince me.
Yeah I saw him in 2018 in Leuven, Belgium. His piano was unamplified so everybody hold their breath for the 45 minutes he played. Such an intimate experience and every note he played sounded so sincere and beautiful. It’s still one of my most memorable concerts.
I’ve got Waldrons On Steinway on P-Vine which sounds excellent. Thousand times better than the horrible Fuel 2000. Also got Clifford Jordan’s in The World but it has been a while that I gave that one a spin.
Great band but never liked this project. It really has a soundtrack kind of feeling with lots of short takes. I just can’t really get into it. Also dislike the vocals and all the bombast. Lots of talents to be heard but not my cup of tea.
I do like the Jazz Composers Orchestra 60’s recordings though. Love Hadens LIberation Music Orchestra. But this one… not really
Our taste being so similar starting to scare me
Guys. Thom Keith just messaged me: it’s my turn. I’ve forgotten completely unfortunately. Everything’s is a little hectic at the moment both at home as at work so I am not seeing myself presenting the new BFT any time soon. Is there anyone who is willing to change places with me?
My apologies, this is really not my style!
If you have the time/opportunity please do! Because I am wondering if I am becoming an audiophile ass.... I really feel that Om and Kulu Se Mama sound bad on that one. Ive got Ascension in a better version so havent listened to that one.
I do like them too. No issues with the sound on the LP's? That is worthy information after all
Thanks Mike, do you remember if that was on all the versions or only the one on 'Major Works Of John Coltrane'?
I don't think OM was his strongest effort but I don't feel the disgust most people express for it. I still like it. You're second statement points out to me that it's time to get these sessions in better versions. But first I want to make sure it's really an issue with this particular version.
I once bought this box for Om, Selflessness and Kulu Se Mama were hard to find. Listening to it today if really dislike the sound of it. McCoy Tyner’s piano sounds out of tune on Om and like a plastic one on Kulu Se Mama. The instruments sound out of balance or something like that. Are there more people with this 2cd set experiencing that?
The Acoustic Sounds series version. I already had the Impulse digipack cd but Coltrane is my absolute here, even more than Mal. So I had to pick this one up. Unfortunately these releases are (to) expensive.
But the sound…. It’s indescribable! I ain’t no audiophile nor am I a religious/spiritual person but to hear Wise One like this almost is like a spiritual experience. It’s like Trane is playing right here in my room. Fantastic reissue.
