  2. New Corbett v Dempsey

    I had one previous version of this on cd that I gave away some years ago because it sounded dull and I had so much Ra. I had thinned out my Ra collection and now have built it back with the new legit reissues. This Corbett Vs Dempsey sounds fantastic imo--I'll be very surprised if you don't prefer it in comparison to other issues.

    that's good to know. I have the CvD version on order as I always found the sound wanting on the Charly edition

    It still gets a nod here, but it's neither the top choice nor the only choice.

    The first Blue Notes are foundational, both as a group and as individual records. But...they imprint, strongly imprint. So they are not necessarily where I go first to relax and enjoy an Andrew Hill record, although yes, any "list" of "essential" Andrew Hill records begins with those, especially Black Fire and Judgement!.OTOH, fuck lists.

    So....my "go to" Andrew Hill records, the ones I go to when I'm not wanting to study or binge are these:

    R-2115999-1475912371-8818.jpeg.jpg+

    and then two that are not really "definitive", but ones that I like for their unique personalities

    R-2015588-1554161069-5515.jpeg.jpg

    R-13338492-1552338997-7219.jpeg.jpg

    Eternal Spirit was my first exposure to Hill or Hutcherson as I recall. That led to my buying "Our Thing" which introduced Kenny D and Joe Henderson which the led to etc... etc.....I still rate Eternal Spirit

  6. What vinyl are you spinning right now??

    Terumasa Hino--------Journey to air---------(Love/Ultra Vybe)

     

    Pretty wild workout. I'll need to give this a few more listens to establish if the star studded band actually make it airborne. I know nothing about this reissue program other than it being part of RSD2020. For anyone interested pressing seems very good but then again I've got nothing to compare it to. Printing quality of the sleeve is adequate , about the same standard of the Blue Note 80 LP series.

    Of the duos , the only one i know is the Sommer one which i recall liking (not played it in a while). I recently picked up the FMP reissue of Santana  (rec. 1968) with Favre and Kowald. Very enjoyable set with a clear debt to Cecil Taylor.

  14. Modern/Avant New Releases: A running thread

    in New Releases

    Posted

    A couple of new discs just arrived from Holland.

    First up..... Guus Janssen/ Win Jansesen------Home Made Music----(geestroden)

     

    I've admired Guus J for nearly two decades since seeing him perform. Here his playful side is well illustrated. JS Bach like melodies and other eccentricities pepper this entertaining release. What's not to like when a disc starts with Herbie Nichol's House Party Starting. The other disc is as yet unopened new release from the ICP - de hondemepper (ICP 062)

    Yes - it has been for sale on Bandcamp.

    I had my suspicions on source as the John Thurlow book mentioned that the tapes were believed destroyed. This LP sounds to be from a master though - impeccable sound. Good news !

    Cadillac have done a great job - flipback laminated sleeve  as well.:tup to them !

    Thanks for this, ordered....although it'll take over a fortnight to reach Scotland.....border quarantine perhaps?

    If the Hoffman Board rumour is correct, there will be a 3LP Tone Poet issue for this one forthcoming. Presumably without alternates?

    it's been a while since I played this but recall that the balance and sound quality left a little to be desired.

    "The hardest one for me to find was Jimmy Smith's "Cool Blues".

     

    The important thing there was to get the early 2000s RVG reissue that pitch corrected the McMaster 1990ish reissue

    . 

    I'm not the biggest JOS fan, with many of his recordings leaving me cold but Cool Blues is superb. Absolutely love it...
