RIP

went to a Kuhn masterclass with in depth Q&A 7 yrs ago- this would of been a good question

If Coltrane didn't like Red Garland's playing, why did he record with him so much, he wasnt a "house" pianist for Prestige, the same way Hank Jones was for Savoy, i dont think

wait wait wait 1st of all you guys gotta understand the format- the people being honored do not play. each person/group being honored will have a separate tribute performance. in waynes case maybe joe lovano or lee konitz if they are smart might be cool, i dont know then with cher, who knows maybe katy perry'll come out in a classic cher costume, i dont know.

you cant tell me you a) like the jazz sounds of blue note records and concurrently b) dislike cher

must explain why i never see them, especially the ronnie foster

VOTING NOW!!!

will check out!

when it comes to smooth jazz, i like my smooth jazz with yusef lateef, not kenny g

Kraftwerk in Stuttgart? oh dawg!!!!!

must add, this i one of the best early lp masterings ive heard....it can be cranked with spectacular fidelity- sound quality on charlie parker sounds great and espically kessel's guitar cuts right through

i have never seen this in the bins, ever. must find! cti, from 1979, would of expected to see this sometime

Shred that Mc-P!!!

so dawg this is -not- a white label prom??? but the stock issue, i think? i cant find a different colored label for the mercury issue- i guess this one has a complicated history appearing on mercury, then clef, then verve...

trade you a grilled cheese + two ice cold fattys for it dawg? +

took my Portrait of Cannonball out of the shrink today, there was no special sticker, it was crispy + yellowed, and crap i kept it on there sixty freaking years it wasnt protecting the jacket at all so i thought screw it and i took it off, looks a lot better IMO. It was a pretty involved process though

is this the closest bluenote ever came to a record in the grp-style? also i was suprised to look up an see theres TONS of 1990-91-92 bn releases....so i actually dont know when the vinyl cutoff was before the comeback, somewhere between 89 and 91?

sold out in 1 hr, 15 min. Funny everyone wants to rip on 1983 and then BOOM. Its as simple as this: group sound that year was new enough to bring new life to the classics. The Yamaha GS-1 is center to this. Someone was hating on me on the announcement talking about jerry frog throat. There is only like a handful (small handful) of shows im uncomfortable with cause of j.f.t and none of them are even in 1983

awesome!!! thanks it sounds fantastic!

was wondering if thats coleman hawkins or who else is on sax on this, theres some really amazing solos- mine is way cleaner than this one, almost ZERO background noise (0!)

im proud of you guys for seeking out new interesting jazz concerts, at this point i dont try to find any new jazz like some of the pics u guys posted but i know thats good stuff i just am not happy w/ that esp w. cover charge, in fact the only jazz show i think im gonna see get this year is McCoy Tyner.-

Nakamichis for all!!!!

yes but how much of that is the bands fault and how much the producer. look i dont know the ins and outs of jazz production and i know there is some but its not exactly like theyre making a todd rundgeren lp here. its way more organic than that. I know exactly what youre talking about, about Caramba- but i think we can blame some of this not necessarily on the producer, but I think we should look in Rudys corner or whoever handled the tape at liberty perhaps-, cause to me theres always been something screwy about the sound of the tape this was cut from or maybe the actual master. I was astonished to discover the lp shares the same problems as the cd, one of the few cases i was extremely disappointed in the cd vs lp difference amount on a blue note. And i can tell you definitively they overdubbed the cowbell and at the time I asked Benny Maupin that I was really kind of astonished that BN overdubbed something, but much much later i saw the youtube vid of bob crawnshaw explaining the all the edits in sidewinder, and i thought wow yea they were messing with things a lot actually
