What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Hard to understand why this hasn’t been digitally released.

Well, all the albums have, and that's probably what "they" wanted. But this focused collation of just trio tracks,,,I think it's a really good way to hear certain things about Horace as both player and composer that aren't always to the forefront of the band recordings.

Just my opinion, though. "They" don't ask me what I think.

Alex Foster/John Lewis -- Transaxdrum -- (Finite, US)

Such wonderful, life-affirming music.  A desert-island LP.

Yeah, this is an "essential" set (musically as well as thematically), and has yet to be satisfactorily replicated digitally, afaik,

But it was released on CD, only I´m not sure if there´s also a RVG edition of it. 

I have this with the original cover: 

And the same cover photo/design is on the next BN Album "Horace Silver with Jazz Messengers", the one with "The Preacher" on it...….

I think I have all Horace Silver albums from the 50´s in cronological order but somehow actually I´m listening to other stuff.

An interesting CD box [You can't have enough "Silverr"]

Just saying - the "trio sides only" concept of the old 2-fer has not been released digitally. That set included all trio material that Horace did for BN, across his run at the label. It spanned the years 1952-1968.

Does anyone else have a misspress "bird is free" on charlieparker records where you have a front coverslick the stereopact 401-S with a rear slick 401 no "S' and a mono 401 no "S" lp inside?

1950 Columbia 10" Lp

Does anybody still play Virgil Thompson? Did anybody ever, really? If so, why, and if not, why not? Seems like there's a case to be made either way.

[jazzbo]

"The Real Ambassadors" Columbia mono LP.

Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, LH&R, Carmen McRae et al. An always relevant jazz album.

Oh I remember this but never had it. Is this the solo album. It was spinned in the Austrian Radio Show "Jazz Shop" in 1977/78 and if I remember  right it had that great version of "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" on it. Very bluesy, gospel type piano. 

I later heard Ray Bryant live in a combo setting and he had a lighter touch, More like on the Miles album from 1955......

Yes, it's a solo piano set. And yes, "Motherless Child" is on it.  (Good recall!)   

It's good stuff.  All of Ray Bryant's Pablo LPs are rock solid, IMO.

I think that's one of Mongo's very best records.

I almost had forgotten about that great encounter McCoy Tyner Jackie McLean. Really great, and I also like very much the choice of Marcus Miller on el-bass on some of the tunes. I never understood why this was not reissued on CD. So I spinned it and recorded it on an USB stick to listen to in the car, 

The next on the car play list (from my LP collection) is the Messengers at Sweet Basil, really strong.

That is the CD cover you've posted.

[Gheorghe]

well I didn´t find the CD nowhere. When there were all those reissues in the 90´s and early 2000´s (RVG and Conoisseur), there was not this Album.

And I didn´t know that I posted a CD cover. I just looked for the Image of the Album I heard and found that, without knowing the source.
