Didn;t know much of his music but I really dig this one! Great big band playing. Reminds me somewhat of the stuff that Oliver Nelson was doing.

Must be a conspiracy

It’s on Spotify so fortunately I already have access to this fantastic music. But still looking for a physical format and then it’s vinyl I am looking for

Haha selfish of me! Of course a reissue would be great but I would feel a little goofy spending so much money on an original copy just one day before the announcement Also got my eye on a way too expansive vinyl issue of Max Roach ‘Members don’t Get Weary’. But I have a feeling it might get reissued soon. What to do, what to do….

Great news! Hope they are not going to do a reissue of Simmons’ Rumasuma for I just spent a lot of money for an original copy….

Ive written some articles for the Dutch wiki when I was around 14 years old. Stuff for some more obscure artists that did not have an entry. They were very, very subjective haha. I was writing stuff like: Red Callender is one of the most under appreciated bassists from the swing era and Tatum teamed up for he was one of the few bass players that could keep up with him…. I remember it has been there for a while for nobody was checking these kind of entries

Not sure he was the most innovative or explorative of sax players but damn he was great. Don’t know how to describe it exactly but there was just so much soul and feeling in his playing. He is among the guys that really got me into jazz. Late ‘50’s early 60’s is my favorite period. You know the bands with Hayes and Sam Jones etc. Great stuff.

I feel the same way. I was very excited initially when I bought them second hand on a cd/lp fair. Started listening with high expectations but was a little disappointed. Joe was doing more exciting things those years. It’s not bad. I mean hey: it’s Joe and Wynton! But I could live without them.

I really love this period of Trane and would love to hear more from it. Stellar Regions is desert island material for me.

Harper was in the Tolliver big band in the 00’s: he’s on Emperor March and With Love.

Wow they better record this stuff! Wish I could be there…. Billy Harper should take the tenor spot

On my list!

R.I.p. Just recently discovered him. Not a big flute fan but this guy was definitely great. I love his Washington Suite and there’s more on my to listen list!

Wow this is seriously uncool

Look Out is on the turntable now and it’s pretty freakin great it’s not that they are doing something extraordinary. It’s just that what they are doing sounds so damn good.

Yeah this thread should be removed and to be honest: you should be the one to remove it Simon.

Oh yeah I could see him do that. Thanks Clifford. I made a (pretty big) mistake I see now

I never liked his music but his debut seems interesting for it's personnel: practically the Center of the World group with Bobby Few, Muhammad Ali and Frank Wright. First reissue: https://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/hans-dulfer/el-saxofon#.YX6Qri9Y790 https://www.discogs.com/release/20784931-Hans-Dulfer-El-Saxofón

A fire destroying my collection is my nightmare. The drying machine is in the room next to my 'music room'. I hate that machine.

Has this been posted before? Fantastic footage!

That’s a lot of nonsense indeed. I did not want to miss Transition, Sun Ship, Stellar Regions etc. Those are very definitive recordings themselves.

It leaves small pieces of paper on the vinyl which causes pops and could damage the record but worse: taking it out en putting it back in makes tiny scratches on the surface. A lot of my Blue Note 75th anniversary releases have those scratches. Best alternative are rice paper anti static sleeves. Nothing fancy or expensive so I really don’t understand they still put them in paper sleeves.

It’s good but also a little hard to say as I think the original tapes weren’t exactly best in sound. But it is that sound that really makes you feel like you’re attending a live Coltrane gig. I can’t believe they still put these expansive releases in paper inner sleeves…. Part from that: great packaging.

Coltrane is indeed a little far out in the mix. But the music is…. sensational. Wow….. just wow…

I love his stuff on Verve: - Jazz Giant - Piano Interpretations By - The Lonely One classic Powell and much overlooked.
