will anyone here buy this when Blue Note starts selling it on March 28th? Whiskey stones are the perfect accessory for a drink that needs Just Coolin’ without getting watered down. Sold as a set of six stones laser etched alternately with the classic Blue Note Logo and “Finest in Jazz” tagline with a velvet bag for storage.

Anyone know more about this release? I'm a big George Cables fan. I came across this while looking for one of his early 1970s releases on Atlas. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156166217395

Another great leaves. He was 82. RIP Roy

Wikipedia said Atlas merged with Polydor. Wikipedia isn't always accurate.

These George Cables' sessions have not been reissued. Most of these were on the label Atlas. Atlas merged with Polydor records. Circle Some Of My Favorite Things Old Wine, New Bottle Wonderful L.A. Sleeping Bee The Big Jazz Trio Dynamics with George Cables Whisper Not The Jiggs Up

He passed away on March 1st. I never got to see him live but I liked him playing. RIP.

RIP Roberta.

A very nice article. It made wonder what may be lost before anyone today ever knew it existed. Full article. https://josephwwashek.substack.com/p/the-jaki-byard-78-rpm-mystery-record Records are endless, their number infinite in the span of human life, not only the records manufactured now and sold new but also all those of the past, the classic icon and the unknown masterpiece records which are sometimes found in the flea markets, the Goodwills and the junk shops in the same bins with multitudes of the records, probably not heard by anyone for decades, of artists; some once popular, all now long forgotten. No one could hear or know of any but the tiniest percentage of all the records that exist. The record collector searches in wondrous puzzlement. Discographies are guides to aid record collectors in their hunting and gathering in the infinite. The jazz discography, the result of many decades of work by many researchers, exceeds 34,000 pages and theoretically lists all jazz records by even the most obscure artists with label and issue numbers, the recording dates, the personnel, and the names of the tunes. But what if a record by a well known and highly respected jazz artist wasn’t listed in the jazz discography? In the world of jazz collectors and scholars, it would not exist, even as a fabled rarity. No one would search for it. Scholars wouldn’t seek information about it. Collectors wouldn’t ask each other, “Have you ever seen a copy of ..…….. ,” seeking confirmation and assurance that the record existed and that it could be acquired given enough time, determination, and money. The record would be waiting, silent, until a collector found it.
