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.
Still mixed feeling on this one. I love Hannibal, I really do. But I never understood why he had such terrible singers on his records. Do others experience the same or am I hearing something wrong? I mean the woman on this record is seriously out of tune.
ive got quite a lot of Oscar Peterson cds and lps. Will spin some of them to decide if I want to keep them or sell. This one’s definitely a keeper. The trio with Brown and Thigpen was a lovely group
Excellent. I got the both the Abdullah Ibrahim and Cookers on vinyl and they sound great. The Tolliver cd also sounds very good. Quality stuff for mostly pretty reasonable prices.
Glad she’s okay. I have to say that to me, as a high school teacher, it’s just unimaginable that there are security gates at my work place. I’m happy you can smoke some weed here but can’t wear a gun. I am pretty sure the last one kills more. Maybe I did make it political now. Sorry if I have.
with Ahmed Abdullah, Billy Bang, Marion Brown, Sirone, Fred Hopkins and Andrew Cyrille. Must say it‘s not as great as expected seeing those names but it’s still a very solid session.
