another "not for you" DG record. wonderful music, beautiful recording, and mostly ECM-quiet vinyl. What little odd clicks there are would probably disappear with a treatment from one of those $700 Record Store Shampoo Machines, but I don't need that for this enjoyment.

Bought the album because of the beautiful cover art .... the music is good, but to me not the strongest Jack DeJohnette release on ECM .... what do you think ?

I think there's something slippery & elusive about New Rags, and I mean that both positively and negatively. ... I agree that it's not his best.

The two LPs that came immediately after it -- New Directions and Special Edition -- are probably my favorites from DeJohnette-as-a-leader on ECM.

To me "Special Edition" being the jewel in the crown ....

On the whole, seems like much ado about not too much.

I always preferred Earl Spencer for this stuff. I have the IAJRC lp this was copied from.

Love this music so much that I plopped for the Pure Pleasure 180 gram LP reissue that came out a few months ago. Not cheap. But it does sound stinkin' tremendous. (No comparison with my old blogosphere-sourced .mp3 files.)
