Misterioso

Good one, you got me 😀

Where? Code is not accepted on bandcamp.

I had a Marantz CD16 for more than 20 years and noticed that it would react to signals from a variety of remote controls including Philips, BAT, Musical Fidelity. Worth trying any other remote control you might have lying around somewhere.

The Melbourne concert is organized by a local art collective called Liquid Architecture. After seeing the announcement on PB's homepage, I subscribed to their email newsletter. A few days ago, they announced the concert and provided a link to oztix for purchasing tickets. The venue here is quite a bit rougher than the Brisbane one and certainly not known for attracting a jazz audience. Will be interesting.

In this case, I certainly agree with your assessment. Who on earth would buy this?

April 1 joke?

Interesting, was not aware of this. Thanks. More MM goodness

Can you explain the "hence"? Is there any connection between MM and XRCD reissues?

The Big Beat

Enjoying a quiet public holiday morning with a stunning reissue of Ella Sings the Cole Porter Songbook (Analog Spark, mono):

Happy Birthday!

Heiner Stadler - retrospection (Labor)

Seems the focus is on vinyl ("very big vinyl campaign"), not on CDs. Fine with me. I am curious as well, which titles they are going to select.

Miles in Tokyo (Columbia)

Sam Rivers - Contrasts (ECM)

Completely agree! The 2006 Amherst concert is available on CD on the Bro label (run by Eremite). Some of his best music is available on that label. Bought a ticket to see Peter Brotzmann in Melbourne 5 minutes ago for about USD 15. Can't believe it, every local pub band charges more.

Ran Blake - Film Noir

Somehow missed this thread. R.I.P. Love the Duets 2001 album with Fred Anderson.

Dexter Gordon - Gettin' Around (BN)

Dexter Gordon - Our Man in Paris (BN)

Dexter Gordon - Go (BN)
