What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

I think my Cadet ‘Art’ has one of those B&W covers from the depths of the 70s. Golson’s ‘Take a Number...’ as well. Mole Jazz was full of them.

Never actually listened to this one. Is it recommended?

Wikipedia is a bit weird about it.

I love Sonny, but this doesn't live up to its promise, IMHO, YMMV, etc.  So, proceed with caution.

Thanks. From the bizarre Wikipedia page it looks.... divisive.

Hopefully, the Westbrook Derams will get a quality vinyl reissue in the Decca ‘Explosion’ series.

Cover photo taken at Bovington Tank Museum?

47w63rd DG Mono, lovely big and precise sound. Incredible for an LP that is well over 60 years old !

Yes maybe, but I suspect not more than one of them so that other artists can be covered. I'm not sure how many releases will emerge but I don't see it being so many as to allow multiple titles from artists. I hope I'm wrong.  Thankfully my copy is mint so I don't feel the need to upgrade.

I remember trips to that museum

You know concord Brubeck in Moscow ?? Turns out there’s a 2 lp Russian only version with tons of tracks not on the 1 lp concord.  Found lp 1 which is Same side 1 as US counterpart then a completely different side two feat an extended prince will come

Terrific double lp set of various artists playing bebop icons, e.g., Sadik Hakim plays Bird, Al Haig plays Dizzy, Barry Harris plays Monk, etc.

Rab, I suppose I'm with Dana.  It's interesting -- but it's not something that I play very often.

Paraphrasing a famous german film director: Life is in stereo, but mono is more realistic.

Why is it only Jimmy Rowles that has legs? How will the other pianists operate the pedals?
