Dub Modal

Have to say the SQ on Sco's Impulse albums are always top notch. This is the only tune from No Country that I've heard and again I'm impressed with that aspect, esp Goldings' Hammond. I have the Past Present album and it's the same way.

Are we at the point where Art's posthumous releases now outnumber his ante-mortem albums? Seems like in the wake of all of these his catalog should be reassessed....maybe?

But weakening fast with many regional players now shuttering. In the US the entire alcohol industry is shrinking, with beer being the fastest shrinking segment within. Smaller breweries that can't compete with larger competitors are strapped and having to make the tough decision to close. One nearby brewery famous for its milk Stout has permanently closed and it's a tragedy.

She's pricey in NC too. I'd like to go but too much 💰 for me.

If it wasn't for Shipp's critique I'd have never known about this album. Any pub is good pub indeed. Initial take without listening is that it's a straight up grift by Andre. Not the first to do so and not the last, although just where this grift will go is anyone's guess. Whoever does his publicity is earning their checks for sure.

Yeah the comping is really good on Echoes too. I think that's his strong suit.

Have to say, I'm getting the Chopsticks reference from Lewis on That Slavic Smile which starts this album off. He makes better on the following track, Echoes, though. Thankfully Milt is on these records.

Yeesh, that's harsh as well. Is it safe to say that outside of OP, the MJQ gets the hottest takes?

Seems like you'd be better off buying from discogs sellers at this point

Thanks for the summary and reviews for those of us that can't attend.

😂 They don't bother me, and I've actually listened for those.

It's unfortunate but expected I guess. I'd hazard a guess that the majority of today's 20-30 year olds don't own any audio equipment beyond a BT speaker and maybe some headphones. And the market will probably keep shrinking in the future.

That's the harshest critique of Lewis I've ever read lol. Helps me realize I never listen to the MJQ for Lewis, so I'll have to keep this in mind the next time I play one of their records.

Won't be able to make the show but found them on bandcamp 👍

Samsung subsidiary gets four known audio brands for basically peanuts. There is no $$$ in audio equipment. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marksparrow/2025/05/06/harman-to-acquire-bw-denon-polk-and-marantz-from-masimo-in-350-million-deal/

Track 11 is track 11 from this album. It's Golding's sound that made me think of yacht rock.

Hearing they just let their subscribers know they filed for bankruptcy. So probably no new releases forthcoming.

Late on the shirts dammit but kudos to all of y'all's efforts at getting healthier.

I follow Analog Africa on bandcamp. Any other recs on labels/artists?

Sleuthed the first track

Totally get it. It is full of flourishes that my journalism professor would have abhorred.

I'd like to see it. May be streaming on Prime?

When I started listening to jazz about a decade or so ago now, I didn't listen to any Bird and honestly wasn't all that interested in doing so for likely idiotic reasons. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when a lifelong friend suddenly became a jazz fan. He started asking me about Bird, and the best players on every instrument, top 10 songs from them etc. (we are both music lovers but we approach things and categorize them very differently - so I had no answers for these questions. I would just point to albums, performances and the like). So his first stop is Bird. And he starts sending me links to songs and the like and it becomes a real facepalm moment for me - like what the hell was I thinking avoiding Bird???? He was incredible. Now I would definitely consider myself a fan, thankful af that I got that Dial Mosaic way back when. Unfortunately not enough of a fan yet to recognize him on a BFT though 🤦‍♂️

No wonder!

Jimmy's out of work because of him! And I can't believe that's not Satchmo on that last track. Someone does a bang up impression.
